Quartet New Generation (QNG) was a group of four female recorder players. Andrea Guttmann, Petra Wurz (since 2010 instead of Hannah Pape), Heide Schwarz (since 2003) and Susanne Fröhlich performed on recorder instruments of many different kinds and shapes and combined Early and Contemporary music.

The quartet was founded in September 1998 at the Amsterdam Conservatoire with a main interest in contemporary music. Since then they worked together with composers. Many new works were written for the quartet. In April 2014 the quartet did perform its jubilee concert (15 years QNG) at BKA theater in Berlin, which was also its last concert. The group did stop.
