We are pleased to announce that Japan Arts has undertaken the management of Quartet Integra.
Quartet Integra consists of violinists Kyoko Misawa and Rintaro Kikuno, violist Itsuki Yamamoto, and cellist Anri Tsukiji. In 2022, this ensemble of young musicians won 2nd Prize and the Audience Award in the string quartet division of the 71st ARD International Music Competition in Munich and earned international attention. The quartet formed in 2015, when they were students at Toho Gakuen School of Music. Currently based in Los Angeles as artists in residence at the Colburn School, they are expanding their activities inside and outside Japan.
The quartet has studied with Kazuhide Isomura, Nobuko Yamazaki, Martin Beaver, and Clive Greensmith. They have performed with Kazuhide Isomura, Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi, Shigeo Neriki, and Nobuko Yamazaki, and with the Jerusalem Quartet, earning excellent reviews.
