The new CD is out now!
After Hours – the new album by the Fauré Quartet is now released and available in stores! After Hours is music for the moments afterwards. – Music for the time of encores. – After the actual concert. On this CD, the Fauré Quartet gives space to the music that hardly any concert can do without. At the same time, it is a small spectrum of what has characterized the quartet from the very beginning: A serious and effortless bridge-building across styles and continents. And a bridge over their own 28 years with encores from the past and present. And the Fauré Quartet also pulls an unusual trio out of its hat: the singer Annette Dasch, the principal clarinettist of the Vienna Philharmonic Matthias Schorn and the Finnish composer, arranger and pianist Jarkko Riihimäki. Encores surprise. – This album also surprises. And if you want to buy the CD here is the link:

The FQ as guest at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires
In a few days, the Fauré Quartet will once again give a guest performance at the world-famous Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. Within a week, the ensemble will tour Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil. The Colón is, of course, the highlight. Not only for Furtwängler was (and is) this theater the best and most beautiful opera house in the world.
The Fauré Quartet currently in North America

The tour ends in Phoenix, Arizona, which is already a home game for the FQ. In about 160 days the quartet will be back in North America!
