We take up the old tradition of “blindly” preparing a laureate tour for the winner of one of the most prominent competitions. This tour is also a major appeal for the best among the younger ones to register for the ARD String Quartet Competition 2022, representing a great chance to be seen and heard right after having been selected.

The International ARD Music Competition 2022 in the category String Quartet has come to an end on Saturday evening, September 10th, 2022, at 10:15pm. After an exciting finale, we are pleased to announce that the Barbican Quartet was awarded the 1st prize as well as the prize for the best interpretation of the contemporary piece and will now be the quartet to play the prize-winners tour next March.
