Concertmaster and director (Haydn)

Ludwig Müller

Ludwig Müller, born in Leoben (Steiermark) studied with Valery Gradow and Klaus Eichholz, then with Günther Pichler and Ernst Kovacic at Graz and Vienna Colleges of Music respectively. The decision to award him a first class performance degree (violin) was unanimous.

As well as with the Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen, he is Guest Concert Master with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the OBC Barcelona, the Orquestra de Castilla y Leon and the Orquestra Gulbenkian. He has been Concert Master with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra since 1986 and with the Orquestra de Cadaques since 1992.

In this role he has performed with conductors such as Ivor Bolton, Richard Eggar, Reinhard Goebel, Thomas Hengelbrock, Heinz Holliger, Sir Neville Marriner, Krysztof Penderecki, Vasily Petrenko, Jukka-Pekka Saraste and Heinrich Schiff as well as with Yehudi Menuhin and Sándor Végh.

As soloist and Artistic Director, he has appeared in many renowned concert halls including those in Vienna (Konzerthaus and Musikverein), Salzburg (Mozarteum), Berlin (Philharmonie and Schauspielhaus), Paris (Théâtre des Champs-Elysées), New York (Carnegie Hall), Tokyo (Suntory Hall) and Osaka (Symphony Hall). He has also performed numerous works for radio broadcasts and CD recordings.

Between 1988 and 1998 Ludwig Müller was a member of the Arcus Ensemble Vienna which gave concerts across Europe, in Israel, Japan and the USA, and which also included his own series of subscription concerts at the Vienna Konzerthaus.

To mark the occasion of the Arnold Schönberg Centre’s opening in Vienna, Ludwig Müller founded the Aron Quartet Vienna in 1998 and which went on to become the centre’s ›Quartet in Residence‹. For the next ten years it gave its own series of concerts. In addition, the quartet appears regularly in both the Vienna Konzerthaus and the Musikverein and also gives guest appearances in many international chamber music cycles and festivals. The quartet’s recordings of Schönberg’s complete work for string quartet have been named by the music media as a seminal. The Aron Quartet has hosted its own chamber music festival in Schloss Laudon in Vienna since 2008.

Ludwig Müller is a founder member of the Korngold Ensemble Vienna.

Violin and director

Christian Tetzlaff

Christian Tetzlaff has been one of the most sought-after violinists for many years. His concerts are often an existential experience for performer and audiences alike. Old, familiar pieces suddenly appear in a completely new light. Tetzlaff cultivates an unusually broad repertoire, drawing attention on the one hand to neglected masterpieces while at the same time championing major contemporary compositions. Tetzlaff regularly performs with today’s leading orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, the Concertgebouw Orchestra and all the major London orchestras. He was Artist in Residence at the Berlin Philharmoniker and, for the 2022/23 season, Artist in Residence at the London Symphony Orchestra.

Previously, this violinist has worked with legendary maestri such as Sergiu Celibidache, Bernard Haitink, Lorin Maazel and Kurt Masur as well as more recently with Paavo Järvi, Barbara Hannigan, Andris Nelsons and Sir Simon Rattle, to name but a few. For his CD recordings, Christian Tetzlaff has won numerous prizes including the annual Deutsche Schallplattenkritik in 2018, the Midem Classical award in 2017 and the Diapason d’or. In 1994, Christian Tetzlaff and his sister Tanja founded their own string quartet and to this day, he is as passionate about chamber music as he is about his solo work. For many years, this extraordinary musician has enjoyed a close friendship with the Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen.
