The artist
In 2018, the RBB called Annika Treutler “the most interesting German pianist under 30”.
Ten years after her debut with Schumann’s piano concerto in the Great Hall of the Berliner Philharmonie with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Annika Treutler can look back on working with numerous orchestras, including renowned orchestras such as the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal and the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra, the Gürzenich Orchester Köln, the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, the Münchner Symphoniker, the Kammerakademie Potsdam, the Göttinger Symphonie Orchester and many more.
Annika Treutler has already been a guest in numerous major halls in Germany and abroad, such as the Wigmore Hall London, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Wiener Konzerthaus, the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, the Berliner Philharmonie, the Münchner Philharmonie, the Palau della Musica Barcelona, the Kölner Philharmonie, the Konzerthaus Berlin, the Konzerthaus Dortmund and many more. Furthermore, she is a regular guest at the Mecklenburg Vorpommern Festival, the Heidelberger Frühling, the Verbier Festival and the Krzyzowa Music Festival. Unfortunately, her debut in the renowned Carnegie Hall in New York was cancelled due to the corona pandemic.
In addition to her solo activities, Annika Treutler devotes herself intensively to chamber music with well-known musical partners such as Daniel Müller-Schott, Tabea Zimmermann and Jörg Widmann, as well as Kit Armstrong, Sarah Aristidou, Alexey Stadler, Julia Hagen and many more.
Expressive, dynamic, spectacular – the Aris Quartet has been at home on international stages for more than a decade. With its unmistakable sound, it has long been known as one of the world’s top-rank chamber music ensembles.
The musicians have performed in venues including London’s Wigmore Hall, the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, the Herbst Theatre San Francisco, and the Philharmonie de Paris. Their choice of chamber music partners is exceptional: Christiane Karg, Tabea Zimmermann, Daniel Müller-Schott, Eckart Runge, Kit Armstrong and Nils Mönkemeyer.
Founded in Frankfurt am Main in 2009, the Aris Quartet, one of whose most important mentors has been Günter Pichler (Alban Berg Quartet), continues to perform to this day in an unchanged format. The ensemble’s success is no coincidence: having earned numerous first prizes at prestigious competitions, the Aris Quartet quickly achieved its international breakthrough.
The musicians have also been honored as ECHO Rising Stars by the European Concert Hall Organization, were among the BBC’s New Generation Artists, and have won five awards at the ARD International Music Competition in Munich.
In addition to regular appearances on radio and television, the Aris Quartet has already released six CD productions that have received considerable acclaim from critics. Since 2023, the quartet has been releasing music regularly for Deutsche Grammophon and on STAGE+.
