Quatuor Hanson

Founded in Paris in 2013 at the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris, the Hanson Quartet brings together Anton Hanson and Jules Dussap on violin, Gabrielle Lafait on viola and Simon Dechambre on cello. This French chamber music ensemble is part of the string quartet repertoire, with an approach ranging from Viennese classicism to the 20th century and the creation of programs mixing vocal works or piano chamber pieces. Formed notably under the tutelage of the Ébène Quartet, Miguel da Silva and within the European Chamber Music Academy with Hatto Beyerle, Johannes Meissl and Patrick Jüdt, the Hanson Quartet has attracted attention from the mid-2010s in several international competitions, with prizes in Lyon, Geneva and Vienna. On stage, the Hanson Quartet performs in venues such as the Philharmonie de Paris, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées or Wigmore Hall. Its discography includes All Shall Not Die, devoted to Haydn in 2019; Not All Cats Are Grey in 2021 around Bartók, Ligeti and Dutilleux; a recording around George Crumb in 2022; Chants Nostalgics in 2023 with Marie-Laure Garnier and Célia Oneto Bensaid; then Schumann: String Quartets and Piano Quintet in 2024 with Adam Laloum. In 2025, the Hanson Quartet also participates in Wendenpunkt, a program devoted to Schönberg and Webern.
