Our Biography 

An ensemble of young musicians from different origins but with the same goal: to make music and get united through playing. Enthusiastic and determined, playing in this formation for them represents a “New Era”.
The New Era quartet was formed in 2021 at the Conservatory of Trieste “Giuseppe Tartini”. This formation gathers members from Bosnia-Herzegovina/Serbia, Montenegro, Turkey and Ucraine. In short period of time, the quartet succeeds in establishing itself in various national and international competitions.

In march 2023 they’ve been awarded with 3rd prize at the International Music Competition “Giulio Rospigliosi” in Lamporecchio, where they’ve also been awarded with special prize “Musique et Patrimoine en Vienne et Gartempe”.
They debuted at the concert for the music festival of the Serenissima Ensemble Association “Concerti a Palazzo” in Sacile and in Grado in the Basilic of Saint Euphemia in the context of “Concerti Estivi” organized by an Association “Corale Città di Grado” in 2022.
Currently they are studying at the “G. Tartini” of Trieste in the class of Alberto Franchin (Quartetto Noûs), participating at masterclasses held by the professors Sergio Lamberto and Simone Gramaglia (Quartetto di Cremona).
