Marie-Thérèse Ibos (born July 11, 1922 in Boulogne-sur-Seine , † January 17, 2011 in Levallois-Perret ) was a French violinist.

Ibos came from a family of musicians. Her mother, the violinist Geneviève Auber , was a sister of the composer Louis Auber and a student of George Enescu , her father, the cellist Jean Ibos , was a student of Louis Feuillard and played in the orchestra of the Opéra National de Paris , whose brother Georges Ibos was organist at the Saint-Honoré-d'Eylau church in Paris.

Ibos studied at the Conservatoire de Paris with André Tourret and Joseph Calvet and won first prize in the violin class in 1937. During the Second World War she was one of the founding members of Céliny Chailley-Richez's piano quintet , and in 1949 she succeeded Ginette Neveu as first violinist.

The ensemble, which existed until the 1990s, initially consisted of the singer Marie-Thérèse Chailley-Guillard , the pianist Ina Marika and the cellist Reine Flachot , later Georges Schwartz took the place of Reine Flachot and Jacques Castérède that of Ina Marika . Her interpretations of Gabriel Fauré's string quartets and the piano quintets by Armand Merck (with Yvonne Loriod ) and Darius Milhaud were remarkable .
