Vogler Quartet / Marcelo Nisinman

Founded in 1985 at Berlin’s Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler, the Vogler Quartet achieved international fame just a year later when it won first prize at the string quartet competition in Evian. The members of the quartet have remained unchanged over the years, and their extensive repertoire covers classical quartet literature as well as lesser-known works and contemporary music. Inspired by the first tango recordings made by Gidon Kremer and Daniel Barenboim and by their own close cooperation with Ute Lemper, the versatile Vogler Quartet has also been playing the tango for several years. This culminated in 2014 in the release of a tango album featuring the bandoneon player Marcelo Nisinman, who wrote a piece especially for the occasion: »4 for Vogler«.
