The DoelenKwartet was founded in Rotterdam in 1993 and concentrates on the interpretation of contemporary classical music. Its repertoire comprises some two hundred works, among them about thirty written specially for the ensemble. Intensive encounters with composers such as Steve Reich, Henri Dutilleux, Kevin Volans, John Adams, Wolfgang Rihm, Hans Abrahamsen, Willem Jeths and Peter-Jan Wagemans have shaped its profile. As the resident quartet of De Doelen the ensemble has given concerts in the Netherlands and internationally and has documented its repertoire on widely noted recordings.
