For them, the critics do not spare their superlatives "... amazingly lively, bright and electrifying ... the hot-blooded boys from the Vision string quartet seem completely relaxed".
In the short time since their founding, they have made dizzying careers, won major international competitions, recorded exclusively for "Warner Classics", and released their own music! They choose the challenges before the routine ideas for chamber music and are especially successful for the younger audience, which attracts with their crossover compositions.
This can be seen from the program with which they arrive at the festival in Ruse. Along with the wonderful quartet of Dvorak - Op. 106, they offer the festival audience an extraordinary experience with their attractive work "Spectrum".
Founded in 2012 and based in Berlin, the vision string quartet has already established itself as one of the finest young string quartets of its generation. With a unique versatility that focuses on the classical string quartet repertoire alongside their own compositions of other disparate genres, the four young musicians are on a mission to re-address with integrity how classical music is presented and perceived by both new and traditional audiences. Their distinctive characteristics of performing concerts completely from memory and standing up lend its performances an added intimacy and intensity which has been widely praised.
The Quartet records exclusively for Warner Classics, their debut album Memento was released in March 2020 and won the coveted Opus Klassik award for Chamber Music Recording; Quartet. In addition to this album release their self-composed singles “The Shoemaker” and “Samba” were released along with self-directed, filmed, and edited videos.
2016 was a year of remarkable achievement for the Quartet as they achieved not only first prize in two major competitions but all the audience and special prizes too. Adding to their successes at Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy Competition in Berlin at the beginning of the year and at the International Concours de Génève at the end of the year, they were also awarded the prestigious Würth Prize in November 2016, only a month after they had received the audience prize at the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival. In 2018 they were awarded the prestigious chamber music prize of the Jürgen Ponto Foundation.
The young quartet experiments with innovative concert formats which they have brought to leading classical concert halls such as the Gewandhaus Leipzig, Tonhalle Düsseldorf, Konzerthaus Berlin, and Philharmonie Luxembourg as well as to prestigious festivals including the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Rheingau Music Festival, Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, Heidelberg Frühling and the Lucerne Festival. They have hosted concerts in complete darkness, have collaborated on projects with renowned ballet dancer and choreographer John Neumeier, and worked together with lighting designers to bring further creative dimensions to their performances.
The 19/20 season includes the quartet’s debut tours to both the USA and Japan. The Japanese tour includes performances in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Musashino where the program of Haydn and Bacewicz alongside their own compositions will be televised by NHK. Their debut US tour sees performances at New York’s Frick Collection, Toronto, and Chicago. European engagements take them to the Berlin Philharmonie, Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, Liederhalle Stuttgart, Società del Quartetto in Milan, Wigmore Hall and their first Norwegian appearances in Oslo, Bergen and Bodø. In May 2020 they become artists in residence at the Bodensee Festival at Lake Constance, which will see them perform seven concerts in varying programs including Bacewicz, Beethoven, Ravel, Schumann, Barber, Mendelssohn, and their own compositions.
The Quartet has studied in Berlin under the Artemis Quartet and Günter Pichler of the Alban Berg Quartet at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía in Madrid. In addition, they have received tuition from teachers such as Heime Müller, Eberhardt Feltz, and Gerhard Schulz, as well as participating in masterclasses at the Jeunesses Musicales, ProQuartet in France, and the Foundation Villa Musica Rheinland-Pfalz where they were scholarship holders.
