The founding members of the Eder Quartet were violinists György Eder and Zsófia Környei, violist Péter Bársony, and cellist Ákos Takács. All four musicians had extensive experience performing with other ensembles and orchestras before coming together to form the Eder Quartet. Their shared vision and dedication to their craft quickly led to the quartet's success. The Eder Quartet's repertoire includes a wide range of classical music, from the works of Mozart and Beethoven to contemporary composers such as György Kurtág and Peter Eötvös. The quartet's unique sound is characterized by their exceptional technical skill, musical sensitivity, and ability to communicate with each other and their audience.
