In 2025 they were selected for the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition. Highlights include debuts at Tonhalle Zurich, performances at NOSPR Katowice and the Mizmorim Festival with the Gringolts Quartet, and a residency at the Ticino Musica Festival. The quartet studies in Basel with Rainer Schmidt and Silvia Simionescu, is an ECMA Ensemble, a Villa Musica fellow, and a member of Le Dimore del Quartetto.
