Since then it has established its elf worldwide\, performing at renowned European concert halls\, such as th e Philharmonie Berlin\, Konzerthaus Berlin\, Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg\, Konzerthaus Vienna\, Concertgebouw Amsterdam\, London’s Wigmore Hall\, T onhalle Zürich\, BOZAR Brussels\, Cirulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid\, and the Teatro Fenice in Venice\, as well as important festivals in Rheingau\, Schwetzingen\, Würzburg\, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern\, Lockenhaus\, Usedom\, and Radio France in Montpellier\, and traveling abroad for concerts in Au stralia\, South Africa\, Great Britain\, Russia\, China\, Japan\, and Sout heast Asia. They made their American debut in 2022 with three concerts for Chamber Music San Francisco and returned in 2025 and 2026 for performance s in New York City\, Los Angeles\, Houston\, Tulsa\, Montgomery (AL)\, the San Francisco Bay Area\, and Vancouver\, BC.\n\nTheir repertoire spans fr om the great classical masterpieces to contemporary music. The Notos Quart ett has a strong commitment to new music\, as shown by numerous commission s and collaborations with such composers as Beat Furrer\, Bryce Dessner\, Garth Knox\, and Bernhard Gander. They also search for important lost or f orgotten works to bring to new audiences. Their 2017 debut CD\, Hungarian Treasures (on Sony Classical/ RCA)\, includes an unknown piano quartet by Béla Bartók\, recorded for the first time ever\, and paired with music o f Kodaly and Dohnanyi. Their second Sony CD\, Brahms: The Schönberg Effec t (2021)\, includes Brahms’s great Piano Quartet in G Minor\, but also B rahms’s Symphony No. 3\, arranged for the Quartett by Andreas N. Tarkman n. Their third CD\, Paris Bar\, (released by Sony in 2022 as a tribute to Paris)\, features music of Jean Français\, the Polish/French composer Ale xandre Tansman\, and the Hungarian László Lajtha\, who studied in Paris where he was highly regarded\, but whose music was banned in Hungary. For its first recording\, the Notos Quartett was recognized by ECHO Klassik 20 17 as “Newcomer of the Year\,” an award they returned in 2018\, the fi rst artists to ever do so\, in response to the ECHO Pop Awards honoring an album with anti-Semitic content. The range of the Quartett’s programmin g has been documented by numerous concert recordings\, interviews\, and fe atures on radio and television at home and abroad\, including ARD\, ZDF\, Deutschlandfunk\, BBC\, France Musique\, ORF\, NHK Japan\, and IPR USA. In 2022 they received the €25.000 Würth Prize of Jeunesses Musicales Germ any for their passionate and expressive interpretations.\n\nAn important a spect of the Notos Quartet’s work is its commitment to young musicians. In 2015 it founded the Notos Chamber Music Academy\, which since 2019 is h eld each year in Weikersheim\, in cooperation with the Jeunesses Musicales Germany. The Quartet has taught at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and led the masterclass\, Saigon Chamber Music\, in Vietnam.\n \nThe Notos Quartett is grateful for the support of its mentors: notably G ünter Pichler\, leader of the legendary Alban Berg Quartet\, with whom th ey studied at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía\, the Mandelrin g Quartet\, Menahem Pressler\, András Schiff\, Clemens Hagen\, and Uwe-Ma rtin Haiberg. Through the support of the Merito String Instruments Trust\, the Quartett performs on exceptional instruments by old Italian masters.
