The Varga Quartett Wien was founded in 2007 and is one of the most remarkable contemporary quartets in Vienna. These four talented musicians have completed their university studies with honors at several renowned European universities of music in Vienna, Graz, Basel and Bratislava with professors such as Herbert Kefer, Othmar Muller (Artis Quartett Wien), Reiner Schmidt (Hagen Quartett), Dalibor Karvay (Konzertmeister Wiener Symphoniker) and Eszter Haffner, convincing their audiences about their musical talent and the high level of their artistic performance.
The quartet debuted in 2008 at the Slovak Festival of Contemporary Music "SOOZVUK", where it premiered compositions by Slovak composers.
