The Stadler Quartett has been founded in 1992 at the Mozarteum University Salzburg, with the aim of exploring not only the extensive traditional repertoire of the string quartet, but also contemporary music. This led to their first CD-recording with microtonal music in 1996.

The Stadler Quartett has worked with numerous composers including Helmut Lachenmann (CD e DVD), Geörgy Kurtág, Wolfgang Rihm, Chaya Czernowin, Johannes Kalitzke (CD), Friedrich Cerha (CD), Georg Friedrich Haas, Jörg Widmann, George Crumb, Henri Dutilleux, Steve Reich, Thomas Larcher, Huang Ruo e Giya Kancheli. The quartet has been invited to perform at Ferienkurse in Darmstadt, at the Konzerthaus in Vienna, at the Munich Biennale, at the WDR radio in Cologne, and has given concerts in Warsaw, Oslo, Milan, Rome, Bilbao and on tour in Germany, Hungary, Albania and Spain.

The current players – Frank Stadler, Izso Bajusz, Predrag Katanic and Florian Simma – also work in leading positions in top Austrian orchestras (the Mozarteumorchester Salzburg and Camerata Salzburg). In 2019, at the Weinberg Festival in Salzburg they were joined by the distinguished artists Gidon Kremer and Mirga Gražinytė.
