The Malion Quartet is considered to be one of the most versatile quartets of the young, up-and-coming generation. Founded in Frankfurt in 2018, the young quartet has enjoyed a growing career on the international stage, as well as pursuing new concert formats for which they have received great acclaim.

Shortly after the quartet’s foundation, they became scholarship holders in the Foundation Villa Musica Rheinland-Pfalz, and have won numerous prizes at national and international competitions such as the Deutscher Musikwettbewerb 2022, as well as the International String Quartet Competition of the Irene Steels-Wilsing-Foundation 2023 and the Osaka International Chamber Music Competition 2023. In addition, the four young musicians have received important scholarships from the Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben, the PE-Förderungen Mannheim and the highly endowed Ensemble Scholarship from the Society of Friends and Sponsors of the HfMDK Frankfurt.

The young quartet is generously supported by the Deutsche Musikrat, GVL, Deutsche Orchester-Stiftung, PE-Förderungen Mannheim and Freunde der Villa Musica. In addition, the ensemble was given the honour of being accepted into the scholarship programme of the Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben as well as the European MERITA Platform. The quartet has received essential musical guidance, working intensively with Prof. Eberhard Feltz, as well as members of the Alban Berg Quartet and Cuarteto Casals. They receive regular lessons from Prof. Tim Vogler at the HfMDK Frankfurt a. Main and Prof. Oliver Wille at the HMTM Hannover.
