In Latin, Ardeo, means ''I burn.'' It is the name of the quartet as well as its motto and defines the way these four young women approach their repertoires.
The Quatuor Ardeo was formed in 2001 within the CNSM of Paris. Artistic understanding, a spirit of harmony and great complicity has given rise to a musical career crowned with several international prizes - in Bordeaux, Moscow, Melbourne as well as the Premio Paolo Borciani - have come as rewards for its exceptional qualities. Faithfully supported by Mécénat Musical Société Générale, the quartet has been in residence at the Singer- Polignac Foundation between 2008 and 2016.

The Quartet has participated in a number of festivals like the Festival de Radio France of Montpellier, the Folles Journées of Nantes as well as in regional events and in Japan, Santander, and Kuhmo.
