In typography, the “Alinea” symbol means the beginning of a new thought. In a more literal

sense, it also means the deviation from the norm and the established standard. The young

Alinea string quartet, based in Munich and founded in 2020, has set out to break away from

the norms of both how and where to perform the great quartet repertoire.


To achieve this, they are looking to establish a dialogue with their audiences in conversational

recitals, constantly seeking to engage with different artforms and experimenting with

innovative concert formats. This approach led to performances in places as diverse as the

MAAT Museum Lisbon, Cambridge University and the 59th Venice Biennale.


The ensemble is studying with Prof. Alexander Pavlovsky (Jerusalem Quartet) at

Kunstuniversität Graz. They also received valuable impulses from renowned musicians such as

Prof. Jörg Widmann, Prof. Ida Bieler (Melos Quartet), Prof. Oliver Wille (Kuss Quartet), the

Jerusalem Quartet, the Vision String Quartet, the Schumann Quartett as well as from the

Goldmund - Quartet.


At the XI. International Competition "Annarosa Taddei", the Alinea Quartet won the First

prize. In 2020 they received a scholarship from the Brahmsgesellschaft Baden-Baden. In 2021 they were nominated for the special prize "Ton & Erklärung" by the Federation of German

Industry and selected for the network "Le Dimore del Quartetto". At the XII. Concorso

Internazionale Musica Classica in Filadelfia, Italy the Alinea Quartet won the first prize as well

as the special prize "Paolo Serrao". The quartet also participated in "MUSA - European Young

Musicians Soft Skills Alliance," a project funded by Erasmus+ to expand musicians'

entrepreneurial skills.


By combining their instrumental skills with their individual backgrounds in fields such as

musicology, literature and philosophy, they seek to create new and exciting interpretations. In

addition to their passion for the traditional quartet repertoire, the Alinea Quartet strives to

explore further by creating their own arrangements of both Classical and Jazz music.

The Alinea Quartet has performed as part of festivals around Europe, including Germany,

Italy, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Great Britain and the Netherlands. The musicians perform

on a set of instruments by the Cremonese luthier Stefano Conia, which was provided to them

with the generous support of The String Circle.
