The trio consists of three members: Frank Stadler on violin, Lutz Koppetsch on viola, and Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt on cello. The ensemble has gained international recognition for their exceptional performances and recordings of classical music. The founding members of Deutsches Streichtrio, Frank Stadler and Lutz Koppetsch, met while studying at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hannover, Germany. They were both passionate about chamber music and decided to form a trio with a cellist they had met, Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt. The trio quickly gained attention for their exceptional musicianship and unique sound. Deutsches Streichtrio has performed at some of the most prestigious concert halls in the world, including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Konzerthaus Berlin, the Wigmore Hall in London, and the Carnegie Hall in New York. They have also been invited to perform at numerous music festivals, such as the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, the Rheingau Musik Festival, and the Salzburg Festival. One of the highlights of Deutsches Streichtrio's career was their performance at the 1992 International Chamber Music Competition in Osaka, Japan. They were awarded first prize, which helped to launch their international career. Since then, they have won numerous awards and accolades, including the German Record Critics' Award and the Echo Klassik Award. Deutsches Streichtrio is known for their exceptional interpretations of classical music, particularly the works of Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert. They have recorded several albums, including a complete recording of Mozart's string trios, which was highly praised by critics and audiences alike. In addition to their performances and recordings, Deutsches Streichtrio is also committed to music education. They have conducted masterclasses and workshops for young musicians in Germany and abroad, and have served as mentors for several young chamber music ensembles. Despite their success, Deutsches Streichtrio remains dedicated to their craft and continues to push the boundaries of classical music.
