Michaelis Quartet
The Michaelis Quartet was a string quartet that gave concerts from 1912 to 1944.
In 1912 the violinist Melanie Michaelis founded a string quartet in Munich . In addition to her, the Primaria consisted of Toni Bloch (2nd violin), Emmy Vögeli (viola) and Margarethe Quidde (violoncello). At one of the quartet's first chamber music evenings in Munich, the ensemble played Ludwig van Beethoven's piano trio in B flat major (op. 97), the piano quintet in F minor (op. 34) by Johannes Brahms and a piano quartet by Iwan Knorr together with the pianist Hermann Zilcher .
The line-up later changed with Helli von Glenck (2nd violin), Gunta Stollwerck (viola) and Hildegard von Glenck (violoncello).
