One of today’s leading string quartets, the Henschel Quartet have been leading an impressive international career and receiving constant critical acclaim. The members of the Quartet – in their intensive years of study with Felix Andrievsky, Thorleif Thedeen, Sergiu Celibidache, Franz Beyer, the Amadeus Quartet and later with members of the Alban Berg and La Salle Quartets – were confronted with the highest international standards. They were also coached by the legendary musicians Louis Krasner and Eugene Lehner, who had themselves worked with composers such as Béla Bartók and Arnold Schönberg, and who gave the quartet unique insights into the works of the Second Viennese School.
In 1995 the Henschel Quartet won no less than five prizes at International String Quartet competitions in Evian, Banff and Salzburg for the best interpretation of works by composers ranging from Mozart to contemporary authors. In 1996 they won the first prize and gold medal at the coveted Osaka International String Competition. They were quartet in residence at both the Aldeburgh Festival (1994) and the Tanglewood Music Festival (1995/1996).
