About
The Viatores Quartet is a young string quartet based in Berlin. In January 2024 they were awarded first prize at the Mendelssohn-Bartholdy Competition and the prize of the Freunde Junge Musiker.
The quartet is increasingly in demand on the concert stage, and has performed at renowned concert venues including the Berlin Philharmonic and Konzerthaus Berlin. Recent performances include appearances at Villa Musica, Hindemith-Tage, AIMA Festival, Klassik im Spandau, Piano Salon Christophori, Charlottenburg Castle and Mainau Castle. Upcoming performances will take them to cities such as Cologne, Munich, Düsseldorf and Trier, as well as to Austria, Turkey and Great Britain. Next year will also see the production and release of their first CD album.
The Viatores Quartet was founded in early 2023 at the Hanns Eisler Hochschule für Musik Berlin. The group is currently studying with Professor Tabea Zimmermann at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Frankfurt and at the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover in the class of Professor Oliver Wille.
The quartet takes its name from the Latin term "Viatores", which means travelers. As the name suggests, the quartet proudly represents four different origins and cultures, united by a common goal.
