The Debussy String Quartet, thirty years of music

About us

In thirty years of activity, the Debussy String Quartet has been acclaimed throughout the world on the world’s most prestigious stages: Japan, China, United States, Canada, Australia, Russia, Europe, gaining renown through regular tours on all the continents. Thirty years of evolution which have made the Quartet a key player on the international music scene: Winners of the Evian International String Quartet Competition in 1993, Victoire de la musique 1996, over thirty recordings. Today, the professional recognition of the Debussy String Quartet is indisputable. By creating bridges with different artistic fields such as dance (Maguy Marin, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Wayne Mac Gregor, Mourad Merzouki...), theater (Philippe Delaigue, Richard Brunel, Jean Lacornerie...) or even modern music (Yael Naim, Gabriel Kahane, Cocoon, Franck Tortiller, Keren Ann…), circus (Cie Circa), slam (Mehdi Krüger) and digital arts (David Gauchard), the Debussy Quartet above all defends a strong, open and lively vision of "classical" music. The Debussy Quartet holds educational workshops and engages in outreach projects for various audiences (children, the elderly, prisoners, the sick, etc.). Their open concert with the public allow the musicians of the Quartet to share their passion for the music of yesterday and today with everyone. The musicians of the Debussy Quartet are also committed to transmitting the knowledge they received from the great masters to young quartets through their numerous interventions: as instructors in their specialized degree program at the Conservatory in Lyon, in frequent workshops, and during their Summer Academy, which is part of the Cordes en ballade chamber music festival they founded in France. The Quatuor Debussy is supported by funding from the Ministry of Culture (DRAC Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Regional Council and the City of Lyon. It is equally supported by the Lyon Métropole, the SPEDIDAM and the SG Auvergne Rhône Alpes.
