Signum Quartet

The Signum Quartet is characterized by the highest intensity, the finest differentiation and uncompromising expressiveness, intimacy and vitality. The coherent dramaturgy of the program is implemented with uncompromising perfection and natural ease of interpretation. (“enormously clever and knowledgeable program design” – Rondo Magazine)

A welcome guest in concert halls such as the Paris Philharmonie, London’s Wigmore Hall, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Cologne Philharmonie, the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie and the BBC Proms, the Signum Quartet regularly performs with partners such as Nils Mönkemeyer, Dominique Horwitz, Jörg Widmann, Daniel Ottensamer, Nicolas Altstaedt and Elisabeth Leonskaja. The quartet will make its debut at Carnegie Hall in 2023.

The Signum Quartet’s discography shows its stylistic range: In addition to the giants of the quartet literature, they have also recorded works by Wolfgang Rihm, Thomas Adès, Jörg Widmann and Kevin Volans. Their ECM recording of Erkki-Sven Tüür’s 2nd string quartet, “Lost Prayers”, was named Classical Album of the Year at the 2021 Estonian Music Awards.
