Artists & projects

Expressive, dynamic, impressive – the Aris Quartet has been at home on international stages for more than a decade. With its unmistakable sound, it has long been known as one of the world’s top-rank chamber music ensembles. The ensemble’s success is no coincidence: having earned numerous first prizes at prestigious competitions, the Aris Quartet quickly achieved its international breakthrough. The musicians have also been honored as ECHO Rising Stars by the European Concert Hall Organisation, are among the BBC's New Generation Artists, and have won five awards at the ARD International Music Competition in Munich.

The Eliot Quartet is one of the outstanding string quartets of its generation. Internationally renowned and the recipient of numerous awards, it characterises Frankfurt's musical life with its own concert series. Its Shostakovich cycle ‘DSCH & beyond’, which includes all 15 quartets, is outstanding. Recordings on the GENUIN label complement the intensive exploration of Shostakovich and demonstrate the versatility of the ensemble, which performs worldwide.

The Kuss Quartet has been standing on the international stage for many years and has remained true to its trademark by developing conceptual programmes, always searching with curiosity for the confirmation of the eternal "Muss es sein" of string quartet playing.
