The Quadriga Consort has been one of the most successful ensembles on the Austrian music scene for many years. The group around arranger, composer, harpsichordist and conductor Nikolaus Newerkla has created an unmistakable sound with influences from early music, folk and pop. Singer Sophie Eder moves effortlessly between the traditional styles and languages of Northern Europe.
The ensemble's unmistakable trademark is that traditional melodies and songs from the British Isles and Scandinavia, which have always been handed down in unison, are rearranged for historical instruments.
Over the years, ten CDs have been produced, some of them award-winning and most recently released by SONY. Concert appearances have taken the musicians to many European countries - performing in venerable halls such as the Vienna Musikverein - but also in the USA.
