Süddeutsche Zeitung “Perfect precision, unity, and exquisitely measured dynamics”
Münchner Merkur “At first glance, a revelation”
Laudatio Förderpreis Musik der Stadt München “Alongside a warm, delicately blending sound, exceptional musicality and virtuosity, this young quartet stands out for its remarkable stage presence”
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung “On their debut album, METALL, the ensemble showcases an exceptional artistic vision and sonic sophistication.”
Tetra Brass is an ensemble with a line-up unlike any other on today's concert stage, enriching the chamber music tradition with a distinctive brass sound. Renowned for its warm, refined tone and energetic performances, the quartet has appeared at leading venues including Wigmore Hall London, Konzerthaus Berlin and Solti Hall Budapest, as well as at festivals such as Detect Classic Festival, Grafenegg Festival and the Münchener Biennale für Neues Musiktheater.
Each of Tetra Brass's programmes creates a distinctive musical world, bringing together music from the past and present, driven by creativity, curiosity and a spirit of experimentation. Original works from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries stand alongside contemporary compositions written for and premiered by the quartet, as well as the ensemble's own arrangements. In doing so, Tetra Brass offers audiences fresh perspectives on the concert experience, revealing familiar composers and works in unexpected ways. Two trumpets and two trombones blend into a sound that is at once homogeneous, transparent and remarkably rich in colour, showcasing the expressive versatility of the brass quartet.
