Hugo Wolf Quartett

Within just a few short years the Hugo Wolf Quartett has developed from a chamber music lover’s insider tip to one of the most sought after string quartets of its generation. Critics the world over have provided testimony to its rapid development: “New stars in the quartet heaven” (Der Standard, Vienna.; “Urgent and impassioned, but with an absolute commitment to the ideal values of every note” (Los Angeles Times). “One hears in these players, embryonically and in miniature, the qualities that make the Vienna Philharmonic special”. (New York Times)

The Hugo Wolf Quartett was founded at the Vienna University of Music. Shortly thereafter, the four young musicians won the Fifth International String Quartet Competition in Cremona and took first prize at the 45th International G.B. Viotti Chamber Music Competition, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Special Prize, and the European Cultural Award for Chamber Music and made their debut at the Vienna Konzerthaus, a moment that was celebrated by public and press alike.

The Hugo Wolf Quartett has concertized for over ten years in the most prominent concert halls and renowned festivals such as the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Philharmonie Berlin & Cologne, the Palais des Beaux-Arts Brussels, Symphony Hall Birmingham, Wigmore Hall London, Carnegie Hall New York, Suntory Hall, Tokyo, Herkulessaal Munich, Tonhalle Zurich, Rudolfinum Prague, Mozarteum Salzburg, Musikverein and Konzerthaus Vienna, Edinburgh Festival, Gidon Kremer’s Lockenhaus Festival, Schubertiade Feldkirch, Carinthian Summer, L’été musical dans la vallée du Lot, Colmar Festival and many others. Extensive concert tours regularly take the ensemble to South America, Mexico, Japan, the USA and elsewhere.
