Ludus Piano Quartet was founded at the St. Petersburg Conservatoire. The musicians are studying with Professor Inga Dzektser. At their last chamber music exam in 2010 they were given the highest possible mark and decided to collaborate as the Ludus Piano Quartet. All members of the quartet are laureates of different competitions and give concerts as soloists and chamber musicians in Russia and abroad.

In 2011 the Ludus Piano Quartet was awarded the 2nd Prize at the Charles Hennen Concours, International Chamber Music Competition for Strings. As a result the quartet was invited to participate in the Orlando Festival (July 2011).
