Top string quartet sets out on final tour

Top string quartet sets out on final tour

Although nothing has shown up on their website, promoters of the current US tour of the Hagen Quartet have proclaimed it as their last.

The Austrian quartet, comprising twp brothers and two sisters (one of whom dropped out early on), will lay down their bows in 2026 after 45 years of playing together professionally.

The summit of their career was a complete Beethoven cycle played in New York, Tokyo, Paris, London, Salzburg and Vienna in 2012-13. Much of their repertoire has been released on DG.

The individual Hagens will continue their teaching practice at the Salzburg Mozarteum.
