“Enjoyment and vitality of a young ensemble at the height of its powers”
– Sueddeutsche Zeitung
The Bennewitz Quartet is one of the top international chamber ensembles, a status confirmed by their victories in prestigious competitions and by the acclaim of the critics:
"... the music was remarkable not just for its clarity of structure, but for the beautiful tonal palette and purity of intonation in its execution. Only very rarely does one experience such skillfully crafted and powerful harmonies... Great art." The Frankfurter Allgemeine.
Known for “Drama, Expression, and utter Sensitivity” , the members of the quartet highlight the inspiring and challenging choices for their concert repertoire. In 2012 and 2015, the ensemble performed in a sole evening the complete collection of Bartók’s six string quartets in Italy and Sweden. In the 2024 season, the Bennewitz Quartet will again perform a collaboration on Dvořák's string quartets as part of the Dvořák Prague Festival. The ensemble is currently preparing the string quartets by "those who used to play together" - Haydn, Mozart, Vaňhal and Dittersdorf.
The quartet currently performs in the world’s cultural capitols: London, Berlin, Paris, and Wolfeboro, to name a few.
