After studies in Vienna and the USA and early competition successes, an international career began that has taken the ensemble to the centers of the music world (New York, London, Berlin, Tokyo...) and to the most important festivals (Salzburg Festival, Berliner Festwochen, Schleswig Holstein Festival...). Since 1988, the quartet has played its own annual concert series at the Vienna Musikverein at the invitation of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna.
