Inspired by the famous Dutch painter Jacob van Ruysdael, who was renowned for his dramatic landscapes and skies, the Ruysdael Quartet has become known for it's intensive playing and nuanced sound palette. The Ruysdael Quartet was formed in 1996, when all members were studying at the Conservatory in The Hague. In addition to their regular teachers they had lessons with the Amadeus Quartet, the Hagen Quartet and the Quatuor Mosaïques. Over a two-year period, they studied with the Alban Berg Quartet at the "Hochschule für Musik" in Cologne. Within a few years the Ruysdael Quartet established it's name both in the Netherlands and abroad, and has ever since been regularly invited to take part in festivals and masterclasses, resulting in performances not only in Europe but also in Australia and the USA. The Ruysdael Quartet received a full scholarship to attend the 'International Chamber Music Academy Prague-Vienna-Budapest' ('99-'01) where they won the Bela Bartók Prize (1999), the Alban Berg Prize (2000) and the Tomastik-Infeld Prize (2001) with an invitation to make a recording for the Austrian National Radio. The quartet were winners of the 'Charles Hennen International Chamber Music Competition 2000' in Holland and were awarded the 'Prix de la SACEM' at the International String Quartet Competition 2001 in Bordeaux. In March 2002 they received the Press Prize and the AVRO Prize in the 'Vriendenkrans' competition in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. More recently they were recipients of the prestigious "Kersjes van de Groenekan" Prize, a major musical award in the Netherlands. Next to performing the classical string quartet repertoire the Ruysdael Quartet are frequently involved in contemporary projects. In the 04/05 season they went on tour with the eminent Dutch composer Jacob ter Veldhuis with an innovative programme based around his 3rd quartet. In 2006 the Quartet perfomed both Louis Toebosch's string quartets and they will premiere pieces especially written for them by Eric Verbugt and Rob Zuidam in the forthcoming two seasons. The Ruysdaels are also artistic directors of the annual "Linari Classic" Chamber Music Festival in Tuscany, Italy.
