Biography
Counted amongst one of the most exciting young string quartets in Europe, the Goldmund Quartet has received important artistic impulses from Günther Pichler of the Alban Berg Quartet, from the Artemis Quartet and in master classes with the Hagen, Borodin, Belcea, Ysaÿe and Cherubini quartets, Ferenc Rados, Eberhard Feltz and Alfred Brendel.
The Quartet appeared at international festivals such as the Festival Aix-en-Provence, Festival de Música y Danza Granada, Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, International Music Festival Heidelberger Frühling, Kissinger Sommer and Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival. Recitals have taken them to prestigious chamber music venues and series in Denmark, France, Norway, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Canada, China, Australia and the US. Regular chamber music partners include artists such as Ksenija Sidorova, Pablo Barragan, Frank Dupree, Wies de Boevé and Jörg Widmann.
Highlights include the Quartet’s debuts at Washington’s Phillips Collection and Shanghai Concert Hall amongst many other. The 2018/19 season saw the Goldmund Quartet make its debuts at Musikverein Graz, Boulez Saal Berlin, Elbphilharmonie and the KKL Lucerne.
Many of the Quartet’s concerts have been recorded by leading broadcasting corporations and on NAXOS and Berlin Classics.
