The Amber Quartet was founded in 2005, its members teaching at the Central Conservatory of Music. As an outstanding chamber ensemble in contemporary China, the Amber Quartet remains active on the international stage and has appeared at many of the world’s top music festivals, giving a series of high-standard performances on behalf of China. The Amber Quartet has a broad academic vision, its repertoire covering what were composed in every period of the 400-year string quartet history. Their students have carried off many awards in solo and chamber music competitions at home and abroad. The Amber Quartet has received high accolades from the international music scene, and is praised as “one of the leaders in the contemporary international chamber music circle” by Prof. Guenter Pichler, a chamber master at the Alban Berg Quartet.

The Amber Quartet has rewritten the history of Chinese chamber music many times. It won three awards in the Asia-Pacific Chamber Music Competition, Melbourne, including the Highest Prize, First Prize for String Quartet, and Award for the Best Interpreter of Modern Works, becoming the first Chinese ensemble to win First Prize in an international professional chamber music competition, achieving a historic breakthrough in Chinese chamber music. The Amber Quartet was also the first Asian string quartet to be invited to the world’s chamber music festival—Montreal International Quartet Festival, and first state-sponsored Chinese string quartet to be admitted to the International Chamber Music School of Madrid and graduate with full marks. It is also the only Chinese inheritor of the Alban Berg Quartet, an international legendary ensemble.

The Amber Quartet is active on the international music stage. Every year, it delivers more than 40 concerts worldwide at the invitation of a dozen countries and regions worldwide. It has given high-level performances on many state occasions. In the 2019-2020 season, the Amber Quartet was invited to the time-honoured Beethoven Festival Bonn and held a special concert there, arousing strong repercussions among all walks of life at home and abroad. Moreover, it was invited to the Great Hall of the People to perform in the Golden Hall for the Chinese and French leaders, winning high praise. It has been reported and interviewed by domestic and foreign media including the world’s authoritative music magazine The Strad, Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), Radio Nacional de Espana (RNE), Upper Austria Journal and Ouhua Times Spain.

The Amber Quartet develops under the tutelage of CHEN Yun and YU Bing, professors at the Central Conservatory of Music, and Prof. Guenter Pichler, a chamber master at the Alban Berg Quartet. They have also received guidance from many international chamber music masters including Gerhard Schulz, Valentin Erben, Michael Tree, Harald Schoneweg, Wolfgang Jahn, GONG Hanxiang, etc.

Members of the Amber Quartet are the first violinist NING Fangliang, second violinist SU Yajing, violist QI Wang, and cellist YANG Yichen. In 2017, MA Weijia, Assistant Concertmaster of China NCPA Orchestra, joined the Amber Quartet as a guest second violinist.

Members of the Amber Quartet use four time-honoured Italian instruments, which are more than 1,200 years old altogether, donated by the Hong Kong China Fund. The instrument cases used by the Amber Quartet are donated by BAM CASES, an internationally renowned case manufacturer. Since 2018, the world’s top score publisher G. Henle has been offering scores gratuitously to the Amber Quartet.
