The Wihan Quartet has established a reputation and achieved broad international acclaim for performances of the quartets of Dvořák, Smetana, and Janáček, as well as those of contemporary Czech composers like Lubos Krticka and Jiří Pauer. However, no single composer has so strongly captured its devotion as Beethoven; the Wihan players have performed the entire cycle of his quartets in concert several times and recorded all 16. The group's repertory is hardly limited to Beethoven and the Czechs, though, and it regularly plays works by Mozart, Schubert, and Schoenberg, among many others spanning different eras. The group's members are Leoš Čepický (first violin), Jan Schulmeister (second violin), Jakub Čepický (viola), and Michal Kanka (cello). In 2022, the Wihan Quartet issued a recording of works by Smetana and Dvořák on the Nimbus Alliance label.
Leden van Wihan Quartet zijn of waren Michal Kaňka, Jan Schulmeister, Jiri Zigmund, Leos Cepicky en Ales Kasprik.
