Abstract:
It is remarkable that the interest in chamber music, which is among the most listened classical music genres in our country, has increased in recent years. The establishment of many new chamber music groups, the frequent inclusion of chamber music groups in the programs of various institutions and organizations, various competitions and festivals for chamber music have accelerated the performance of chamber music and increased the audience of this genre. Although there are many different forms among chamber music genres, string quartets are among the first to come to mind. Among the string quartets established in our country in the last twenty years, many groups have achieved significant success at national and international level with their regular performances in Turkey and abroad. This study aims to examine the formation process and basic dynamics of Nemeth Quartet, one of the important chamber music groups that have successfully represented our country in national and international area in recent years, in the context of social psychology. Consisting of four female artists, Nemeth Quartet is among the few chamber music groups that have been able to actively pursue their artistic life in national and international platforms for a long time. In this study, which is a case study, literature review and interview technique was used. In the semi-structured interview with the group members, various questions were asked, and the data obtained were interpreted by using qualitative research methods.
