​     The Leipzig String Quartet has been lauded as “one of the towering and most versatile quartets of our time” (Neue Zürcher Zeitung). Founded in 1988 by principal players of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the ensemble has since become a global ambassador of German chamber music. Their extensive touring has taken them to over 60 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Renowned for their thematic programming, they have presented complete cycles of Beethoven, Schubert, and the Second Viennese School, including a multi-year series at the Leipzig Gewandhaus titled “Pro Quatuor.” Their discography, encompassing nearly 100 recordings from Mozart to Cage, has earned them accolades such as the Diapason d’Or, ECHO Klassik Awards (1999, 2000, 2003, 2008, 2012), and the German Record Critics’ Prize. Notably, their complete recording of Schubert’s string quartets is considered a landmark in the composer’s discography. The quartet is also committed to contemporary music, premiering works by composers like Alfred Schnittke, Jörg Widmann, and Wolfgang Rihm. Current members include Stefan Arzberger (violin), Tilman Büning (violin), Ivo Bauer (viola), and Peter Bruns (cello). Their performances are celebrated for their technical precision, expressive depth, and the distinctive “Leipzig sound” that continues to captivate audiences worldwide
