Leonkoro Quartet live in Salzburg

Experience Leonkoro Quartet live on August 20th

The Leonkoro Quartet will perform at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria on August 20, 2026. The quartet is recognized for interpretations characterized by a blend of intellectual rigor and emotional depth, often noted for their clarity of texture and nuanced phrasing. Their repertoire spans from Haydn and Mozart through to contemporary composers, with a particular focus on the late string quartets of Beethoven and Schubert. They are known for extensive research into performance practice and a commitment to historically informed performance without sacrificing expressive freedom.

The Mozarteum, officially the Stiftung Mozarteum, is a multifaceted institution deeply rooted in Salzburg’s musical heritage. Founded in 1841 by Mozart’s widow Constanze and her son August Andreas, its initial purpose was to preserve Mozart’s legacy and provide musical education. Today it encompasses a university (Mozarteum University Salzburg), a museum (Mozart’s Geburtshaus and Wohnhaus), and a concert hall – the venue for this performance. The current Mozarteum building, used for concerts like this one, dates back to the late 19th century and is renowned for its excellent acoustics and historical significance as a central hub for classical music in Austria.
