From its inception in 2008, Papandopulo Quartet was built on the legacy of one of Croatian most celebrated composers, Boris Papandopulo. A dynamic and award-winning ensemble, firmly established as one of the leading quartets of its generation, the Papandopulo Quartet has been described as "the best thing that could happen to composers” (Zarez) with performances balancing "superb musicality" and "extraordinary dedication" (Croatian Radio 3). Papandopulo Quartet has performed throughout Europe and USA in a remarkable series of more than 300 performances and appeared in some of the most important concert halls worldwide, such as Carnegie Hall in New York City and Berliner Philharmonie in Berlin. The Quartet received numerous national and international awards at some of the most prestigious chamber music competitions and festivals. 

The Quartet's diverse activities also include numerous international radio and television broadcasts, theatre productions, and the School of Saxophone in Jaska, a highly successful international spring masterclass for saxophone students that won the annual City of Jastrebarsko Award. Members of the Quartet are also engaged in pedagogical work leading chamber music and instrumental classes at Universities in Zagreb, Split, Banja Luka, and Novi Sad, as well as Music schools in Zagreb and Jastrebarsko.
