The quartet was founded in 1993 and took its name from the "Internationalen Hugo Wolf Gesellschaft Wien".
Meanwhile, it plays in all important concert halls and festivals.
Zbigniew Bargielski, Friedrich Cerha, Dirk D'Ase, Johannes Maria Staud and Erich Urbanner for example, composed works especially for this ensemble.
Among the numerous recordings, one in particular received a favourable review, that of the complete String Quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven.
