Vincent Aucante, the first solo viola of the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig, has replaced Olaf Hallmann as violist in the Gewandhaus Quartet.
Aucante joined the Gewandhaus Orchestra in 2011 after serving as
principal viola with the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra and
the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra. His chamber music activities
have included performing in the Gabriel Quartet and the Via Nova
Quartet.
Olaf Hallmann played in the Gewandhaus Quartet for seven years. His
father, Dietmar Hallmann, was the quartet's violist from 1958 to
1993.
The quartet will perform for the first time in its new formation on
14 April 2013, when it performs an all-Haydn programme in the
Gewandhaus's Mendelssohn-Saal.
