The Quatuor Lakm\u00e9 was born in 2025 out of the desire of musicians already renowned in their respective solo and chamber music careers to work together on the string quartet repertoire. Elina, Charlotte, Gr\u00e9goire and Caroline all trained as string quartet players with G\u00fcnter Pichler at the Escuela Reina Sofia in Madrid, and have a wealth of experience as members of a number of award-winning ensembles (Mona Quartet, Van Kuijk Quartet, Trio Sypniewski, Capucelli). They have forged strong musical links with each other that infuse their joint research. The Quartet is in residence at the Fondation Singer-Polignac in Paris and this season will be performing at the European Parliament, Festival Vibre Bordeaux and Festival Hier et Aujourd’hui.<\/p>\n
