Founded five years ago at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, Quatuor Mona have quickly garnered an international reputation with their empathic performances and shared musical language. Their ambition is to develop the art of the classical string quartet through established repertoire but also the lesser-known works of women composers.

“An unmatched energy in the string quartet genre. Their communication is so alive and beautiful to watch,
but it is their ability to fill silences that is most compelling.” Hubert Stoecklin, ClassiqueNews

“A convincing style and plenty of vitality: do not lose sight of the Monas.” Bertrand Boissard, Diapason
