The Malibran Quartet emerged in 2008 driven by their passion for chamber music. The ensemble’s name pays homage to the legendary diva Maria Malibran, who devoted her passionate life to music. The quartet swiftly gained acclaim as a well-received guest at national and international festivals, earning recognition for its dedicated performances, exploration of the vocal string quartet repertoire, and commitment to contemporary music.

In 2022, the quartet underwent a transformation into a piano quartet, now known as the Malibran Ensemble. Original members, violinist Tatiana Samouil and violist Tony Nys, unite with cellist Han-Bin Yoon and pianist Stephanie Proot to form the ensemble’s core. The musicians aspire to deepen their exploration of repertoire involving the piano through collaborations with composers on one hand and with top vocal and instrumental musicians on the other.
