The Kamus Quartet is one of the foremost Nordic ensembles and continues to delight audiences with a strong and distinctive voice. Since 2002 the quartet has become widely known for its versatile artistic programming, open-minded attitude and masterful range of different performance styles from early classical to the very latest contemporary music. Naturally, they excel in Finnish repertoire from Sibelius to Saariaho and have premiered a vast number of contemporary string quartets. The quartet's recent projects include "Beethoven Effect", a complete cycle of the Beethoven quartets over four days and a forthcoming recording.

In recent years Kamus has toured Belgium, Mexico, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK.  Their recordings have been praised widely and they have won the Emma Prize for best classical music recording in Finland and the prize for best classical music album by the Finnish National Broadcasting Company.
