The Tetzlaff Quartet is a distinguished ensemble renowned for their profound musical intelligence and the impassioned intensity they bring to the chamber music repertoire. Formed in 1994, the quartet features German violinist Christian Tetzlaff, renowned for his mastery and compelling interpretations, who also lends his name to the ensemble. He is joined by violinist Elisabeth Kufferath, violist Hanna Weinmeister, and his sister, cellist Tanja Tetzlaff. Together, these four accomplished musicians have developed a synergistic rapport that translates into gripping performances. Though their members are successful soloists and teachers in their own right, the Tetzlaff Quartet is united by a shared vision that prioritizes the expressive possibilities inherent in chamber music.

The Tetzlaff Quartet has garnered global acclaim for their thoughtful and often thought-provoking performances of classical and contemporary repertoire. With a discography that includes the intricate tapestries of Beethoven's string quartets, the haunting melodies of Schubert and the classical elegance of Haydn, the foreboding romanticism of Mendelssohn contrasting with the modernist textures of Berg, and the juxtaposition of Sibelius’s Nordic landscapes with Schoenberg’s expressionistic innovations, they have demonstrated not just versatility but also an astute interpretative depth. Their meticulous attention to detail and dynamic cohesion enable them to explore these diverse sound worlds with authenticity, earning them accolades from the international music community and a dedicated following among chamber music aficionados.
