The Frankfurt Fabrik Quartet is characterised by its committed, fresh and bold interpretation of contemporary music. The four members met in 2021 as part of the International Ensemble Modern Academy in Frankfurt am Main. The quartet was one of three ensembles selected for the ‘InSzene’ programme via the German Music Council’s Podium Gegenwart and is currently part of the string quartet programme funded by the international platform MERITA. The Fabrik Quartet’s work centres on collaborations with contemporary composers such as Rebecca Saunders, Alberto Posadas, Liza Lim, George Lewis, Jörg Widmann, Jose Manuel López López, Walter ZImmermann and Ulrich Kreppein coached and pieces with Jose Luis Escrivà, Kathrin Denner, Rishin Singh and Esther Pérez Soriano. Since its foundation, the Fabrik Quartet has received important international prizes, including at the Anton Rubinstein International Chamber Music Competition, the Third International Competition for Contemporary Music Re_Crea in Castelló, Spain and the John Cage Award in Halberstadt, Germany.

Since October 2024, the Fabrik Quartet has been studying at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts with Lucas Fels (Arditti Quartet) and Tim Vogler (Vogler Quartet).
