Notos Quartett

Praised for its virtuoso brilliance, passion, sensitivity, and mature interpretive powers, the Notos Quartett is one of the most celebrated young chamber ensembles to emerge in recent years. Founded in 2007, the Berlin-based piano quartet first drew attention by winning first prize in six major international competitions. Since then it has established itself worldwide, performing at renowned European concert halls such as the Philharmonie Berlin, Konzerthaus Berlin, and London’s Wigmore Hall. The quartet made their American debut in 2022 with three concerts for Chamber Music San Francisco and returned in October 2023 for their first North American tour. The Notos Quartett’s repertoire spans from the great classical masterpieces to contemporary music. They have a strong commitment to new music, as shown by numerous commissions and collaborations with such composers as Bryce Dessner, Garth Knox, and Bernhard Gander. They also search for important lost or forgotten works to bring to new audiences.

AMONG FRIENDS: OVER BRIDGES As part of the project “Among Friends: Over Bridges,” the Goethe-Institut supports concert tours by German choirs and ensembles to the USA, which perform together with US-American groups in musical collaborations.
