About
The Arditti Quartet is a string quartet founded in 1974 and led by British violinist Irvine Arditti through many changes in membership. Internationally recognized in contemporary classical music, they are noted for precision in demanding repertoire. Many composers have written for the Quartet, which often rehearses with them. The ensemble has performed worldwide, produced the largest discography of its kind, and in 1999 became the first group to receive the Ernst von Siemens Music Prize.

Le Quatuor Arditti est un quatuor à cordes anglais fondé en 1974 par le violoniste Irvine Arditti. Né en 1953 à Londres, et alors qu'il n'est âgé que de 13 ans, le futur fondateur du quatuor découvre des œuvres de Xenakis et Messiaen qui lui font forte impression et orienteront probablement son intérêt pour la musique contemporaine. Ainsi, le premier concert du quatuor est consacré à Krzysztof Penderecki, inaugurant une collaboration avec de nombreux compositeurs vivants par la suite (voir répertoire ci-dessous), et donnant lieu à de nombreuses créations (entre 20 et 50 par an) depuis près de 50 ans.
