Following the Wendel Quartet's enthusiastically received debut in September 2025, the four young musicians will present the short piano quartet by Alfred Schnittke, which is based on a fragment by Gustav Mahler, alongside the popular piano quartet by Robert Schumann.

The second piano quartet by French fin-de-siècle composer Mel Bonis, which is in the tradition of César Franck and Gabriel Fauré, marks the beginning of the program. The beautiful work from 1927 is like a chamber music testament to the composer, who, despite her turbulent, even cinematic biography, left behind a comprehensive and high-quality oeuvre of piano, organ and chamber music as well as songs and choral music.
