“Thoroughly polished playing, a full range of expressive gestures, and a homogeneity of sound and balance rarely found in quartet ensembles” (during Osaka International Chamber Music Competition). Multi-award-winning Moser String Quartet has performed in many countries such as Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Hungary, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Canada and Japan.
After four years since their path started, Moser Quartet has been awarded 1st Prize in the International Competition Gran Premi Musical Lauredià (Andorra), 2nd Prize in the Orpheus Swiss Chamber Music Competition (Switzerland) and the Special Award “Ambassador Ensemble of the Osaka International Chamber Music Competition 2023” (Japan).

As a Swiss-based ensemble, Moser Quartet is very enthusiastic about performing contemporary pieces especially by Swiss composers, which has led them to win the 3rd Prize in the Concours Nicati (Switzerland). They also made their debut at Stadtcasino Basel performing Dieter Ammann’s “Distanzenquartett” and premiered Verena Weinmann’s “We are ______.”, composed for Moser Quartet, in the Swiss Chamber Music Festival.
