Pablo Minguet was born in 18th-century Madrid, in Spain. In his philosophical writings, he intended to bring the Fine Arts to a broader public. Since its foundation in 1988 (and its present formation since 1996), the Minguet Quartet has aspired to follow his example. As well as studying chamber-music at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen, the four young musicians were given additional musical guidance by Walter Levin (La Salle Quartet), and members of the Amadeus, Melos and Alban Berg Quartets. With the help of scholarships and awards, such as those from the Land North-Rhein-Westphalia, and the Berlin Mendelssohn Prize, the Quartet quickly gained recognition and began to perform widely at home and abroad. In 1997 the Minguets held a guest-lectureship at the Robert-Schumann-Hochschule, Düsseldorf. The Cologne-based Minguet Quartet performs all over the world: from Europe and Scandinavia, to Asia, and the USA. The Minguet Quartet has made recordings of the complete works for string quartet by Othmar Schoeck, Wolfgang Rihm, and first-ever recordings of the works of Robert Fuchs, a contemporary of Brahms (2000 – 2002). The Minguet Quartet plays on a set of instruments, kindly given on permanent loan by the Stiftung Kunst und Kultur, Nord-Rhein-Westfalen.
