The Kamus Quartet was formed in Helsinki in November 2002 by four first-year students at the Sibelius Academy, where they also began their studies with Risto Fredriksson. In the summer of 2003, they met the Belgian Danel Quartet at the Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival and worked intensively with them in Kuhmo and in Brussels. In 2004, with the help of the Danel Quartet, Kamus met Hugh Maguire in London and, in the winters of 2004 and 2005, had the great privilege of studying with him at Aldeburgh as the Britten-Pears Music School's Quartet in Residence. At the same time they continued their studies in Finland with the members of the New Helsinki Quartet.
In 2004, the Kamus Quartet also entered two competitions: the Kuhmo International Chamber Music Competition, where they won 3rd prize overall, and the prize for best performance of the compulsory piece; and the national Erkki Melartin Competition, where they won 1st prize.
After the Kuhmo competition, Kamus had the opportunity to participate in the sessions of the European Chamber Music Academy, ECMA; first as a guest ensemble from the Kuhmo Festival and, since 2006, as an official ECMA Ensemble Fixe. At ECMA they have been able to work with many inspiring artists, such as Hatto Beyerle and Johannes Meissl. (www.ecma-music.com)
From the very start, the aim of the Kamus Quartet has been to offer concerts with a versatile program, and their repertoire already consists of more than 60 works. Kamus has given concerts in the largest festivals and cities in Finland, and have had concerts (for example) in London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin and Brussels. The quartet has collaborated with many Finnish contemporary composers, whose works Kamus has premiered, as has also recorded for the Finnish National Broadcasting Company (YLE).
In 2010 Kamus Quartet recorded the four quartets of composer Seppo Pohjola to Alba Records.
