The String Quartet Thumós is composed of graduates from the Conservatory of Milan who have been collaborating since the summer of 2022, united by a shared goal of pursuing a professional career through the formation of the Quartet.

Since October 2022, they have been attending the Stauffer Artist Diploma course for string quartet at the Stauffer Academy, led by quartet masters from Cremona. They have participated in chamber music masterclasses with renowned professors such as the Jerusalem Quartet, Schumann Quartett, Ida Bieler, Eckart Runge, Miguel Da Silva, Mark Messenger, and Nathan Braude.

In January 2023, the quartet was selected to join the Le Dimore del Quartetto network, with which they frequently collaborate.

Thanks to the Stauffer Academy, they had the opportunity to take part in a cultural exchange with the Royal College of Music in London, which concluded with a performance at the Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall.

They participated as guests in the RAI Radio3 program “Voci in Barcaccia”.

In 2023, the quartet won first prize in the chamber music category at the 9th edition of the Milan Conservatory Prize, and in 2024, they were awarded first prize along with the special award “Chamber Music for Europe” at the 28th edition of the “Rospigliosi” competition.

The members of the quartet graduated from the G. Verdi Conservatory of Music in Milan and the Conservatory in Lugano. Since October 2023, they have been enrolled in the Master’s degree program in chamber music for strings and piano at the Kunst Universität Graz, under the guidance of M. Alexander Pavlovsky (first violin of the Jerusalem Quartet)..
