After its formation at the "Liszt School of Music Weimar" in 1996, the Quartet first studied under the guidance of Ulrich Beetz, violinist of the Abegg-Trio, and Norbert Brainin, concertmaster of the legendary Amadeus Quartet. In 1999, the Quartet resumed its studies with Eberhard Feltz at the "Hanns Eisler" Conservatory in Berlin.
At regular intervals, the Quartet participated in master classes held by the Alban Berg Quartet, the Cherubini Quartet, the Keller Quartet, the Hagen Quartet as well as Walter Levin. These classes deepened their musical understanding and also provided additional stimulation and inspiration.

International engagements led the Faust Quartet to concerts in London, Brussels and Rome, as well as on a two-week tour through five West-African countries, which was oraganized by the Munich Goethe Institute. Festival appearances include the Schleswig Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festivals, the Orlando Festival, and the festival "Heidelberger Frühling". In 2007, one of the highlights for the group will be an extensive concert tour to South America, where they are going to perform at major musical centers in Brasil and Argentinia.
