105 years ago, on April 25 1919, the Zagreb Quartet played for the first time at the Croatian Music Institute in Zagreb. Founded as the first ensemble of its kind on the Croatian music scene, the Zagreb Quartet has already established high criteria for its activities in the first decades, which still make it the backbone of Zagreb and Croatian quartet music. Over more than a century of musical activity, numerous prominent musicians have passed through the Quartet, and today's ensemble consists of Martin Krpan (violin), brothers Davor Philips (violin) and Hrvoje Philips (viola) and Martin Jordan (cello). The ensemble early formed the concept of its programs, which consists of a wide repertoire range, from classical, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and the so-called iron quartet repertoire, to contemporary authors with a special emphasis on Croatian creativity. Since its founding, the Quartet has received numerous awards and recognitions: from the City of Zagreb Award in 1957, through the Milka Trnina Award, the Vjesnik Josip Štolcer Slavenski Award, the Vladimir Nazor and Vatroslav Lisinski Awards, the Charter of the Republic of Croatia for Special Merit in Culture in 1999, the City of Zagreb Award in 2001, a number of Porin discography awards to the Vladimir Nazor Award Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009. The Zagreb Quartet has played more than four thousand concerts on all continents and recorded more than sixty records for various world publishing and radio labels, including Sastruphon, RCA, Melodicom, Da Camera Magna, Croatia Records, ALM Records and others.
