Quatuor Contrepoint — Ostinato

Founded from the eponymous Camerata by Jérôme Gruffel in 2021, Quatuor Contrepoint brings together Nathalie Saudan, Jean-Baptiste Navarro, Jérôme Gruffel and Lisa Cailleton. Their programme moves between classical works and folk traditions, exploring timbral contrasts and cross-cultural dialogues. The quartet maps musical journeys—from Leipzig’s chamber textures to New York’s brassy horizons, across North Sea winds toward Scandinavia and beyond—using close ensemble playing, delicate phrasing and raw energy to create intimate, transportive soundscapes.
