The 10th Banff International String Quartet Competition featured the following Quartets: Quatuor Zaide, Cecilia Quartet, Afiara Quartet, Amaryllis Quartet, Asasello Quartet, Atrium Quartet, Hausmann Quartet, Noga Quartet and the Peresson Quartet. This is the Atrium Quartet. 

Dive into the visceral energy of Franz Schubert’s String Quartet No. 14 in D Minor, widely known as "Death and the Maiden". Composed in 1824 during a period of personal health crisis for Schubert, this quartet remains one of the pillars of the chamber music repertoire. The Scherzo acts as a powerful psychological bridge, blending syncopated tension with a hauntingly beautiful, lyrical Trio section.
