Is there anyone who understands you as well as a sibling does? It’s unlikely. That’s why the Schumann Quartet, with its unique sibling synergy, captivates both audiences and critics alike. This German group is composed of the Schumann brothers—Erik, Ken, and Mark—along with violist Veit Hertenstein.
From their youngest days, these musicians have developed an innate ability to communicate musically without the need for words. While their individual personalities shine through, they unite to form a singular, harmonious sound within each piece they perform.
Their approach to music is defined by a sense of adventure and an eagerness to explore, leading to performances that resonate deeply with those who witness them. The quartet believes, “True magic happens in live performance. It’s the moment of truth, where pretense falls away, and we are true to ourselves. This honesty allows us to connect with the audience, engaging in a musical dialogue.”
