The Goldmund Quartet, formed by violinists Florian Schötz and Pinchas Adt, violist Christoph Vandory and cellist Raphael Paratore, is now counted amongst one of the most exciting young string quartets in Europe.

The Quartet appeared at international festivals such as the Festival Aix-en-Provence, Festival de Música y Danza Granada, Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, International Music Festival Heidelberger Frühling, Kissinger Sommer and Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival. Recitals have taken them to prestigious chamber music venues and series in Denmark, France, Norway, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Canada, China, Australia and the US. Regular chamber music partners include artists such as Ksenija Sidorova, Pablo Barragan, Frank Dupree, Wies de Boevé and Jörg Widmann.
