ADAM

We would like to introduce you to our new viola player: Minna Svedberg Feldtmann! After a fantastic time, José Nunes is leaving the ADAM Quartet. We would like to thank José for every great memory we made together and wish him tremendous luck in the future. We are very happy to have found a great successor: Minna Svedberg. Minna studied with Lars Anders Tomter at the Royal Danish Music Academy in Copenhagen, at the Hochschule für Musik "Hanns Eisler" Berlin and at the Amsterdam Conservatory with Nobuko Imai and Marjolein Dispa. From September, she is a full-time member of the ADAM Quartet. Press photos of the new line-up will follow soon.

After three wonderful years, our altoist Liselot Blomaard has decided to leave the ADAM Quartet. Liselot wants to broaden her horizons further and of course we understand that. From the very beginning, Liselot was involved in the ADAM Quartet as an altoist and her contribution to our quartet has been invaluable. We are extremely grateful to her for that and will miss her greatly.
Fortunately, we have found a worthy successor in José Nunes. Like the other quartet members, José graduated from the Amsterdam Conservatory of Music, studying with Francien Schatborn and Nobuko Imai. We are extremely happy with José and cannot wait to introduce him to you.

Press photos in the new line-up will follow soon.
