The following year, the ensemble return to the Philharmonie de Paris (11 January 2020) and to Lisbon’s Gulbenkian (26 January 2020), in addition to performances at Venice’s Teatro la Fenice (9 & 10 March 2020), the Megaron in Athens (17 March 2020), and the Tonhalle Zürich (25 May 2020). The Quartet head into the summer festival season off the back of their Australian tour where they return for a residency at the Canberra International Music Festival (5 – 8 May 2020).
On the same Australian tour, Quatuor Van Kuijk will make notable debut apperances at venues including the Sydney Opera House's Utzon Room (3 May 2020), UKARIA Cultural Centre in Adelaide (10 May 2020), and Melbourne Recital Centre the following day.

In a return to the Quartet's first love, Mozart, as featured on their debut album, they release a recording of the composer's 14th and 15th String Quartets on 11 October 2019. The second CD in the double bill will feature Mozart's 3rd and 4th String Quintets with eminent violist Adrien La Marca, and will be released in 2020.
