The Ladies’ Morning Musical Club presents

Aris Quartett

Anna Katharina Wildermuth, violin
Noémi Zipperling, violin
Caspar Vinzens, viola
Lukas Sieber, cello

Expressive, dynamic, spectacular – the Aris Quartett has been at home on international stages for more than a decade. With its unmistakable sound, it has long been known as one of the world’s top-rank chamber music ensembles.

The Aris Quartett was founded in Frankfurt in 2009 and has retained, fifteen years later, all its original members. The succinct, four-letter name derives from the last letters of the musicians’ first names: annA katharina Wildermuth, noémI Zipperling, caspaR Vinzens, lukaS Sieber.

The Quartet has won innumerable prizes for young ensembles, including ECHO Rising Stars by the European Concert Hall Organization and no fewer than five awards at the ARD International Music Competition in Munich. Much of the musicians’ training as a quartet took place under the tutelage of Günter Pichler of the Alban Berg Quartet.

The Quartet’s discography includes half a dozen releases on the Genuin label (Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, Reger, Zemlinsky, etc.) plus its most recent, on Deutsche Grammophon, of music by brother and sister Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn. The Aris Quartett places special focus on contemporary music and has given the world premieres of works by such composers as Lukas Ligeti, Gerald Resch, Misato Mochizuki, and Pierre Dominique Ponnelle. The ensemble also devotes itself to cross-genre projects, including with the jazz pianist Omer Klein.
