The Benyounes Quartet is rapidly emerging as one of the most exciting young British ensembles. In June 2012, the quartet won 2nd prize at the 1st International Sandor Vegh String Quartet Competition in Budapest and they received four special prizes including Best Interpretation of a Bartok Quartet and Best Performance of the commissioned piece. They were also invited to perform at the new Liszt Academy and in the Budapest Spring Festival in 2013. In May 2012, the quartet reached the final of Young Classical Artist Trust, performing at the Wigmore Hall.
