Via Nova Quartet
The Via Nova Quartet is a French string quartet ensemble established in 1968.
History
Founded in 1968 by musicians who had met at the Cyrne Arte festival (Corsica) four years earlier, it first took the festival's name. Its repertoire ranges from classical composers to contemporary classical music. It was subsidized in 1976 by the French Ministry of Culture.
