Konevets Quartet

The Konevets Quartet was founded by graduates and students of the St. Petersburg Music Conservatoire in July 1992. The Quartet takes its name from the Konevets Island and Monastery, some 160 kilometers northeast of St. Petersburg, on Lake Ladoga. It was there, over 600 years ago, that St. Arseny Konevsky founded a cloister in the honour of the birth of Mary, Mother of God. During Soviet years the island was occupied by the USSR military and was removed from all maps. The fabric of the Monastery was almost completely destroyed, but now it is being reborn. During the early years of the Konevets Quartet's association with the Monastery, they sang mainly for those working on the restoration, as well as for pilgrims, tourists and "drop-outs" who sought shelter in the restored buildings. Also, the Quartet frequently sang in church services on Sundays and Feast Days.
