Praised as "the most significant and rightfully the most exposed domestic chamber ensemble", the dynamic and multiple award-winning Papandopulo Quartet is one of the most outstanding chamber ensembles in Croatia. Quartet is especially recognized for the contribution and performance of the music of Croatian composers, but also for its excellent performances of works of the classical repertoire in arrangements for saxophone quartet and works of renowned world authors of the contemporary repertoire.
