The Bedrichs have produced numerous performances combining with other art forms, such as dance, mime, painting and cinema... Some of these productions, such as ‘Des Mots & des Notes’ (storytelling), ‘La Jeune Fille & la Mort’ (Butoh dance) and ‘Frémissements de Lune’ (haikus, Japanese calligraphy), have taken them on tour across Europe. They are regularly invited to perform at prestigious venues, such as the Cité de la Musique in Paris, the National Library of France (BNF), Paris City Hall, the Avignon Festival, the CND in Albi, the Arsenal in Metz, Bozar in Brussels, the Vielklang Festival in Tübingen and, in June 2023, Suntory Hall in Tokyo. The Bedrich Quartet has always shown an interest in education, notably through its collaboration with Jeunesses Musicales de France (JMF) on original programmes (“Baroque’n Roll”). In 2023, the Créteil Conservatoire (CRR) invited the Bedrich Quartet to give a chamber music masterclass.
