The Seiler quartet is formed by the 4 daughters of Ernst Seiler's first marriage to the Japanese Pianist Mie Ogiso. Living far apart, the quartet rarely gets a chance to perfom together, distance, jobs, and familly duties are difficult hurdles to overcome. Yuri, the oldest, plays first cello in the NDR orchestra in Hamburg, Germany. Naomi, the violist, plays at the first desk of the Hamburg Symphony orchestra. Mayumi, violin, lives and teachers in Toronto, Canada, She performs all over the world in recitals and in concertos with orchestra. Midori lives in Berlin, Germany. Usually she performs on the baroque violin, in ensemble and as a soloist in concertos with orchestra. She is just starting to teach that instrument in the Hochschule fuer Musik Weimar. She also frequently works as a conductor.

Whenever the four of them do get together to rehearse and perform as a quartet, the results are spectacular. (Auricular) Contact them on the Internet at http://www.mayumiseiler.com
