The string quartet was formed in 2010 from students of the Budapest Academy of Music under the direction of János Rolla. The founding members were Júlia Pusker, Anna Jámbor (violin), Oszkár Varga (viola) and János Fejérvári (cello). Later, the members continued their studies in different countries, and the quartet disbanded.
At the beginning of 2022, Tamás Dávid, Mátyás Mézes (violin), Dániel Krähling (viola) and János Fejérvári (cello) met at a concert invitation. Inspired by the success of the project, they started to work intensively and several concerts have followed since then. The four musicians have played together in many different formations over the past 15 years.

The four musicians live in three different countries, so organising rehearsal periods requires a great deal of coordination and “balancing”. It is for this reason that they came up with the idea of taking the name Balance Quartet, with the approval of the former members.
