Accord Quartet was formed in 2001, by four students of the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music. They set the connecting of our “modern world” and classical music as their objective, by means of performing chamber music with new thoughts at new venues. They regularly give concerts both in Hungary and abroad. They performed at the Budapest Autumn Festival (2004, 2005, 2006), Budapest Spring Festival, in the Hungarian Radio, the Music Academy, the French Institute of Budapest and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. They were awarded three high-class instruments from the Republic of Hungary, a French and an Italian master violin and an Italian master cello from June 2005. Their first CD was released in November, 2004. Besides participating in international courses, they were awarded the Thomastik—Infeld Prize in Austria, at the Vienna—Budapest—Prague International Summer Academy in 2002, in 2003, the Kodály First Prize, at the same venue and in 2004, the Bartók First Prize. They were awarded the First Prize of the National Chamber Music Competition Leó Weiner in 2003. They were awared Artisjus Prize (prize for contemporary music premiers and playing) Hungary. From October of 2006 they are studying in Madrid in the Esculea Superior de Música de Reina Sofia.
