The Alma Quartet is an Amsterdam-based string quartet founded in 2014 by four musicians from the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Their debut album of Schulhoff's complete string quartets earned international acclaim - The Gramophone called it a top-of-the-field recording, and it was selected for the 2017 Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik 'Bestenliste'. Alongside the classical canon, the quartet actively crosses genre boundaries, collaborating with Philip Glass, techno producer Henrik Schwarz and singer-songwriter Nana Adjoa, and performing everywhere from the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg to Amsterdam's Paradiso.
