Hugo Wolf Quartett Comes To DUPAC 2/22

HUGO WOLF QUARTETT
Dynamic Viennese sensation
Sunday, February 22, 2009, 3:00 p.m.
Within just a few short years the Hugo Wolf Quartett has developed from a chamber music lover's insider tip to one of the most sought after string quartets of its generation. Critics the world over have provided testimony to its rapid development: New stars on the quartet heaven (Der Standard, Vienna); Urgent and impassioned, but with an absolute commitment to the ideal values of every note (Los Angeles Times); One hears in these players, embryonically and in miniature, the qualities that make the Vienna Philharmonic special (New York Times).

The Hugo Wolf Quartett was founded at the Vienna Conservatory. Shortly thereafter, the four young musicians won the Fifth International String Quartet Competition in Cremona and took first prize at the 45th International G.B. Viotti Chamber Music Competition, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Special Prize, and the European Cultural Award for Chamber Music, and made their debut at the Vienna Konzerthaus, a moment that was celebrated by public and press alike.

The quartet's repertoire spans across the two Viennese Schools and has performed a number of world premieres which received high critical acclaim. In addition they have ventured into including the attractive jazz work of Kenny Wheeler into their program, which they will perform at DUPAC.
