Redefining the String Quartet Experience
Since its founding in 2012, the vision string quartet has rapidly risen to the forefront of the international music scene, redefining the possibilities of a modern string quartet. Fusing classical mastery with electrifying originality, these four visionary musicians seamlessly bridge genres—effortlessly navigating between the classical string quartet repertoire and their own compositions that draw inspiration from folk, pop, rock, funk, and minimal music. Their fearless approach and groundbreaking sound have established them as pioneers in the contemporary chamber music landscape.

Breaking Boundaries – From Concert Halls to Bold New Formats

Renowned for their innovative concert experiences, the vision string quartet performs in some of the world’s most prestigious venues, including the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Berlin Philharmonie, and Wigmore Hall London. They are also sought-after performers at major festivals such as the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the Bodenseefestival, Beethovenfest Bonn, and the Trondheim Chamber Music Festival. Beyond traditional concert settings, the quartet experiments with unconventional formats, from performances in complete darkness to
memorized renditions of classical, romantic, and contemporary works —freeing them to engage more deeply with both their music and their audience. Their dynamic and genre-defying style transcends the boundaries of chamber music, redefining what a string quartet can be.

Chart-Topping Albums & Prestigious Accolades

Their 2021 album Spectrum, entirely self-produce —including its stunning, visually striking music videos—solidified their reputation as trailblazers in the classical world. Their 2020 debut album memento won the Opus Klassik Award for Best Chamber Music Recording, showcasing their ability to breathe new life into the genre.

Additional accolades include the Chamber Music Prize of the Jürgen Ponto Foundation, the Würth Prize, and the Ritter Prize of the Oscar and Vera Ritter Foundation.
