Das Credo des Stradivari-Quartetts als Programm
The musical story-telling style of the Stradivari Quartet is based on the belief that everyone and everything has a story to tell. All the anecdotes about the composers, the works, the instruments and the players are brought into one connected whole. The backgrounds of the various characters are illuminated in music and language, and with the addition of a present occasion a new story is created that forms a special bridge to the audience.  
In addition to music from across the centuries and periods from 1750 - through classicism to the Romantics and right up to contemporary music – the Quartet, aware that many of the greatest masters wrote commissioned works, is committed to this additional broad musical area. To some extent this constitutes an end in itself: the Stradivari Quartet regularly commissions works and in so doing promotes contemporary composers, creating possibilities for new chapters in the history of music.
