The ensemble regularly travels to concerts in New York (Lincoln Center and Frick Collection), Washington (Library of Congress), Los Angeles, Chicago, Montreal, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, as well as Mexico, Peru, Columbia and Brazil.
The four musicians are enthusiastic about promoting young talent and regularly play special concerts in schools on their tours at home and abroad or give master classes at the most important universities.
For the 10th anniversary of the MPQ in the 2010/11 season, the ensemble made guest appearances in the Konzerthaus Berlin, Basel, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, St. Gallen, the Tonhalle Zurich, Madrid, Barcelona, Stuttgart Liederhalle, Bremer Glocke, and followed invitations to concert tours Brazil, Mexico, Holland and the USA.

Since 2004, the quartet has been publishing exclusively on the Dabringhaus & Grimm (MDG) label, which includes the fascinating recordings of the Quartet op. 16 and the "Eroica" by Ludwig van Beethoven in the arrangement for piano quartet by Ferdinand Ries, the quartets by Strauss and Dvorak as well as published the first recordings of the piano quartets by Mélanie Bonis and Saint-Saëns, which were highly praised by the international press and awarded with awards such as "Best Chamber America" or "Editor's Choice" by the Gramophone . Incidentally, a special feature in his repertoire is his own arrangement of the "Transfigured Night" for piano quartet, which the Schönberg family welcomed and premiered in October 2009 at the Schönberg Center in Vienna. Numerous radio recordings and productions from Australia, Brazil, Italy, Spain, the USA and Germany document the extraordinary artistic value of the Mozart Piano Quartet.
