Karl Weigl (6 February 1881 – 11 August 1949) was an Austrian composer. Weigl was born in Vienna and was a private pupil of Alexander Zemlinsky. He continued his studies at the Vienna Music Academy, where he became a composition pupil of Robert Fuchs, and also enrolled at the University of Vienna, studying musicology under Guido Adler. When the Nazis occupied Austria, in 1938, Weigl emigrated to the United States of America with his family. Weigl wrote many compositions including symphonies, chamber music pieces including string quartets, and songs for solo piano.

Alban Berg (February 9, 1885 – December 24, 1935) was an Austrian composer. Berg studied with Schoenberg for six years (1904-1911) and they remained close lifelong friends. Berg is remembered as one of the most important composers of the 20th century and to date is the most widely performed opera composer among the Second Viennese School. His compositions  combined Mahlerian Romanticism with a personal adaptation of Schoenberg's twelve-tone technique. He is considered to have brought more "human values" to the twelve-tone system, his works seen as more "emotional" than Schoenberg's.

Founded in 1980, the Artis Quartet studied at the University of Music in Vienna, and with the LaSalle Quartet at the College Conservatory of Music, Cincinnati, USA. In 1985 the ensemble began its international career, performing in the most important venues and centres of music. Their cycle of concerts at the Wiener Musikverein has been an annual event since 1988. The Quartet has been welcomed at prestigious international festivals, such as Salzburger Festspiele and Wiener Festwochen. They have recorded more than 30 CDs for Nimbus Records, Sony Classical, CBS/Sony, Orfeo, Accord and Koch/Schwann.
