The four young musicians met while studying at the University of Music, Drama and Media in Hanover and have been playing together for almost two years. SALO is united not only by their studies, but also by their conviction that social change can be achieved through music, and so the quartet is primarily dedicated to performing works by FLINTA* composers.
Both unheard-of creators from the past and greats of the contemporary scene contribute to SALO's repertoire. It is precisely this engagement with unknown, sometimes experimental, but also folk music, as well as the joy of improvisation, that characterises the ensemble's very own sound.
For the 25/26 season, the quartet is the resident ensemble of the junge norddeutsche philharmonie.
