The Ensemble   The Ensemble Novalis unites temperament with variable expression and individuality with a precise ensemble playing. Its members are experienced and engaging musicians from different nations who are active on international concertising sceneries. The members have been trained in outstanding institutions such as the Musikhochchule in Cologne and Detmold; Conservatories in Milano, Moscow, and St. Petersburg; and the Indiana University School of Music in Bloomington, U.S.A. Their chamber music coaches include members of the Amadeus Quartet, Borodin Quartet, Orlando Quartet, Tokyo Quartet, and the Bartok Quartet. The repertory of the Ensemble Novalis covers a wide range of chamber music literature from trio until octet. The flexibility in its formation brings different tensions and liveliness into concerts and allows the audience to hear unique programs which are less often performed. Since its foundation in 2000, the Ensemble Novalis has been giving numerous concerts which have been highly acclaimed both by audience and critics. The ensemble is regularly invited to international music festivals in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Russia, Japan, and Korea.
