 rtett is regarded as one of the "outstanding chamber music formations of o
 ur time“ (Fono Forum\, 9/2017). Besides this piano quartet’s "virtuosi
 c brilliance and technical perfection“ audiences and critics worldwide c
 elebrate the Notos Quartett for its "sense of balance and ensemble playing
  revealing every detail of the composition“ and praise the musicians for
  their "profound musicality that goes straight to the heart.”\n\nSince i
 ts foundation in 2007 the Notos Quartett has won six first prizes as well 
 as numerous special prizes at international competitions in England\, Holl
 and\, Italy\, and China. Above that in 2017 the quartet was awarded the EC
 HO Klassik as newcomer of the year\, at the time a prestigious prize that 
 in its history had only been given to ensembles on the rarest of occasions
 .\n\nAs a reaction to the ECHO Pop committee’s decision in 2018 to honou
 r an album containing antisemitic and inhumane language\, the musicians of
  the Notos Quartett were the first artists to return their ECHO. This trig
 gered a protest movement that many renowned artists\, such as Igor Levit a
 nd Daniel Barenboim\, followed by returning their prizes. Subsequently the
  German music industry decided to abolish the brand ECHO completely.\n\nTh
 e upcoming season includes concert tours to Switzerland\, Spain\, Italy\, 
 UK\, Japan\, and USA. Furthermore\, the ensemble will be premiering works 
 dedicated to the Notos Quartett by Bryce Dessner and Bernhard Gander. The 
 Notos Quartett’s vision is to perform the well-known masterpieces\, to r
 eveal lost and forgotten treasures\, and to champion the new compositions 
 for the unique genre of the piano quartet. This is evident on the ensemble
 ’s debut album Hungarian Treasures released by Sony Classical/RCA in Feb
 ruary of 2017. It includes the world premiere recording of Béla Bartók
 ’s piano quartet\, a rediscovery for which the ensemble receives interna
 tional acclaim.\n\nThe second recording\, again released by Sony Classical
 \, is dedicated entirely to the great Romantic Johannes Brahms - with the 
 famous Piano Quartet in G minor and an arrangement of the Symphony no. 3 b
 y Andreas Nikolai Tarkmann created especially for the Notos Quartett.\n\nN
 umerous broadcasts of concerts\, interviews\, and portraits on all major G
 erman cultural radio stations\, German TV\, as well as the BBC\, France Mu
 sique\, Radio4 Holland\, P2 Sweden\, IPR USA\, and radio and TV stations i
 n Japan and Vietnam document the world-wide interest in the Notos Quartett
  and its extraordinary concert programs.\n\nIn addition to appearances at 
 major festivals and leading concert halls throughout Europe\, such as the 
 Wigmore Hall London\, Philharmonie Berlin\, Konzerthaus Vienna\, Concertge
 bouw Amsterdam\, BOZAR Brussels\, Tonhalle Zurich\, and Teatro la Fenice V
 enice as well as major festivals including Rheingau\, Schwetzingen\, Würz
 burg\, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern\, Lockenhaus\, Usedom and Radio France\, the
  Notos Quartett regularly visits such locations as Japan\, China\, Austral
 ia\, and Southeast Asia.\n\nBesides its concert activities\, the Notos Qua
 rtett regards promoting the careers of young musicians as an important par
 t of its work. Thus the ensemble has taught at the Royal Northern College 
 of Music in Manchester\, led the "Saigon Chamber Music" Masterclass in Vie
 tnam\, and since autumn of 2015 holds the "Notos Chamber Music Academy“\
 , organized since 2019 in collaboration with Jeunesses Musicales\, the mos
 t prestigious institution for musical education in Germany.\n\nIn addition
  to Günter Pichler\, the leader of the legendary Alban Berg Quartet\, wit
 h whom the quartet studied in Madrid at the Escuela Superior de Música Re
 ina Sofía until 2017\, the quartet's companions\, teachers\, and supporte
 rs include the Mandelring Quartet\, Menahem Pressler\, András Schiff\, Cl
 emens Hagen\, and Uwe-Martin Haiberg. The support of the Merito String Ins
 truments Trust enables the Notos Quartett to play on highly prestigious in
 struments by old Italian masters and\, as Pirastro Artists\, exclusively o
 n strings by the renowned string manufacturer "Pirastro GmbH".\n\nThe Noto
 s Quartett’s tour is supported by the Goethe-Institut.\n\n\nhttp://www.n
