We hear the Leipzig String Quartet has replaced cellist Matthias Moosdorf with Peter Bruns.

Moosdorf has been fairly outspoken online with support for AFD-linked issues.

No reason has been given for his replacement.

The all male quartet has a turbulent history of replacements and reinstatements.

It appears the unlucky Stefan Arzberger is now back in the first chair.

This is the still unannounced new lineup.
