During his studies in Paris the pianist Jonathan Hofmeister, inspired by the many cultural and musical influences of the European capitol, composed a new program for his quartet. His compositions leave a lot of freedom to the musicians to discover and interpret them every time in a new way. This allows the quartet to be intimate and creative and makes their music to be a voyage of discovery. Where they go is every time a new surprise.

In 2017 the quartet won the scholarship of the Werner Richard - Dr. Carl Dörken foundation.
