Sound Sensitivity and Chamber Music Magic: The Kodály Quartet in Weiden

On Friday, April 17, 2026, the world-renowned Kodály Quartet will transform the Max-Reger-Halle in Weiden into a resonance field for great chamber music. An evening with Haydn, Mozart, Kodály, and Smetana – finely balanced, emotionally charged, and acoustically at the highest level.

Subtlety and Form: A Program with a Dramatic Arc

The repertoire spans from the sparkling Haydn Opus 33/3 'Bird Quartet' to Mozart's E-flat major KV 428, Kodály's 2nd String Quartet op. 10, and Smetana's autobiographical e-minor Quartet 'From My Life'. The orchestration of the four voices merges into a transparent sound image, where phrasing, articulation, and dynamic balance become immediately tangible.

Live Atmosphere That Sustains

The audience's mood in the Max-Reger-Halle benefits from clear acoustics and ideal sightlines. The ensemble's interplay – precision in execution, fine synchronization in the transitions, chamber music direction with looks and breath – creates this rare tension when silence becomes audible and tones shine.

Iconic Status Through Discography and Awards

The ensemble, founded in 1966, counts more than 60 recordings, including complete cycles of Haydn, Beethoven, and Schubert (Naxos), among the defining ensembles in its field. Reviews from The Washington Post, BBC Music Magazine, and The Strad praised the interpretive depth; in 2022, the quartet received the Hungarian Kossuth Prize – a quality seal for artistic excellence.

A Venue with Comfort: Arrive, Take a Seat, Enjoy

The Max-Reger-Halle is a few minutes' walk from the train station, offers its own parking spaces, and large parking areas across the street and nearby. The main entrance is at ground level, elevators connect the floors, and barrier-free sanitary facilities are available. Cash payment is possible at the box office.

Conclusion: A concert experience with substance and radiance. Great quartet literature, presented with presence – ideal for connoisseurs and curious listeners. Secure your seats in a timely manner.
