Alas Quartett

The members of the Alas Quartett have played together in various chamber music formations in recent years and are now devoting themselves to the piano quartet. The three string players have formed the permanent string trio “Calla” for some time, and are now enthusiastically exploring the piano quartet literature together. The quartet wants to discover and expand new concert formats – and to seek out and find boundaries.

In its very first year, the Alas Quartett won the special prize at the 1st “Paul Juon” Chamber Music Competition at the Kunsthalle Appenzell, and with it a place in the concert agency of the Förderkreis Kammermusik Schweiz. Since then it has performed at concerts and festivals across Switzerland, with a repertoire ranging from classical to contemporary music.
