The next quartet to call it quits

The next quartet to call it quits

It’s the Artis.

Formed in Vienna, they have been playing together over four decades and have decided to take a rest.

First violin Peter Schuhmayr tells slippedisc.com: ‘We think it is time to officially announce that the members of the Artis Quartet have decided to disband after a long and prosperous career of 45 YEARS at the end of 2025! We are looking forward to play for our audiences until the very final and last bar!’

The other players are Johannes Meissl, Herbert Kefer and Othmar Mueller.
