“Fire and energy. The Schumann Quartet plays staggeringly well [...] without doubt one of the very best formations among today’s abundance of quartets, […] with sparkling virtuosity and a willingness to astonish” (Harald Eggebrecht in Süddeutsche Zeitung).

The distinguished American pianist Jon Nakamatsu - known internationally for the panache and elegance of his solo, concerto, and chamber performances - has become a favorite with audiences throughout the world.
