Valentin Erben

Guest of honor 2025: Valentin Erben
Member of the Alban Berg Quartet

When he was awarded the "Premier Prix du Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique" in Paris in 1967, his teacher, André Navarra, predicted somewhat skeptically: "You will play too much chamber music in your life."
Years later, when he heard him with the Alban Berg Quartet, he declared Valentin Erben - this time with admiration - as a "virtuoso of chamber music."
Günter Pichler, the first violinist of the Alban Berg Quartet, calls him the "angel of the string quartet."
