Artists
String Quartet: | Haydnquartett Berlin Four musicians joined forces in 2008 to form a new string quartet, the 'Haydn Quartet Berlin'. The quartet is supported by the association 'Musik in Brandenburgischen Schlössern'. The association had very successfully carried out a similar project and began supporting the Mozart Quartet Berlin in 2004. The Haydn Quartet has also undergone a similar development and has meanwhile become a permanent guest in the concert halls of Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and Salzburg. It has developed into one of the most outstanding German string quartets with exciting interpretations of the classical‐romantic quartet literature. The quartet had its successful premiere on 12 October 2008 at Köpenick Castle. In February 2011 the ensemble made its successful debut at the Palais Liechtenstein in Vienna. |

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Perhaps the most important composer of all time, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was an Austrian composer of the late 18th century. Born in 1756 in Salzburg, he showed prodigious musical talent from childhood. Beginning at five years of age, he composed more than 600 works, including concertos, symphonies, religious works and operas before his premature death at the age of 35. Hi influence over successive generations cannot be overestated - Ludwig van Beethoven wrote of Mozart "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years”. Despite the immense success of his compositions, and the acclaim he received across Europe, Mozart achieved little financial security and rwas buried in an unmarked grave in Vienna's St Marx Cemetery.
Frederic Chopin
Frederic Chopin was a Polish composer and pianist of the Romantic area (early 19th century). He wrote primarily piano solos but also piano concerts, chamber pieces and songs set to Polish lyrics. He is well-known as a poetic genius without competition of his generation. In fact, he created the concept of instrumental ballade and his performances were noted for their sensitivity and fine distinction. He spent most of his life in Paris, where he performed for the intimate atmospheres of salons. For most of his life, he suffered poor health. As a result, he died quite young at the age of 39, probably of tuberculosis.
