The members of the Verdi Quartett put their heart and soul into chamber music: founded in 1985 by Juilliard School laureate Susanne Rabenschlag (violin) and violist Karin Wolf, a pupil of Max Rostal and Bruno Giuranna, recent members are german-french violinist Matthias Ellinger at the 2nd violin, and cellist Zoltan Paulich, a native of Hungary.

Time and again the four members of the Verdi Quartett have successfully communicated their own enthousiasm to their audiences, for instance at the great festivals at Schwetzingen, Ludwigsburg and Zermatt, the Mozart Festival in Lille (France), the Orlando Festival in Kerkrade (Netherlands) and the Bach Festival in Oregon, where they were appointed Quartet in Residence. Their national and international commitments have taken the quartet to virtually all the leading concert venues, not only in Europe but also in the USA, Canada, Africa and South Korea. They have appeared with eminent performers such as Norbert Brainin, Siegmund Nissel and Martin Lovett, Bruno Giuranna, Alfredo Perl, Günter Ludwig, Rudolf Meister and Matthias Kirschnereit.
