Come spend the last summer’s day with the Mettis String Quartet and music!

The Mettis String Quartet is currently one of the most prominent Lithuanian chamber music ensembles. The quartet was formed in 2012 at the Lithuanian Academy of Music. The members later studied at the ECMA (European Chamber Music Academy), where, with the help of some of the world’s best teachers in the field, they began to climb the career ladder rapidly. This is reflected in their achievements: in 2016, Mettis won the second prize and a special prize at the 8th International Bordeaux International String Quartet Competition in France, as well as the title of the winner of the 9th International V. E. Rimbotti Quartet Competition in Italy in the same year.

The quartet’s name was chosen not by chance. Metis is an ancient Greek mythological figure, one of the Oceanids, who symbolised wisdom. In common parlance, the word describes a quality based on intelligence, ingenuity and skill.
