The live experience
What reaches the room
The Stradivari Quartet, founded and debuted in Zurich on September 18, 2007, quickly established themselves as a leading light in Swiss chamber music. Known for their refined ensemble and commitment to the intimate expressive possibilities of the string quartet, they perform on Antonio Stradivari instruments loaned from the Stradivari Foundation (Habisreutinger). The quartet currently comprises Xiaoming Wang on 1st violin, Stefan Tarara on 2nd violin (joined 2022), Lech Antonio Uszynski on viola (joined 2010), and Maja Weber on cello, a founder of the group. Their performances have graced major venues worldwide, including Wigmore Hall in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Kioi Hall in Tokyo, Shanghai Oriental Hall, and the National Center for Performing Arts in Beijing.
