The arirang Quintet emerged from an initiative of members of the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie. Friedrich Haberstock, flute, Jörg Schneider, oboe, Steffen Dillner, clarinet, Sebastian Schindler, horn, and Monika Schneider, bassoon, founded the ensemble in 2002 under the name "Wind Quintet of the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie" during an orchestral tour to North and South Korea.

After their debut performances at the Schauspielhaus Bochum, the arirang Quintet was selected by Jeunesses Musicales Deutschland from a large number of applicants to represent the German section at the "International Showcase of Young Musicians 2004" in Croatia. Performances took the ensemble to Oslo and Morocco (at the invitation of the respective Goethe Institutes), to the Nordlysfestivalen in Tromsø, the Steirischer Kammermusikfestival, the "Vendsyssel Festival" in Denmark, the "Ohrid Summer Festival" in Macedonia, and to the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. In 2007, a ten-day tour of South America followed, as well as a five-day tour of Pakistan, debuts at the Bach Festival Leipzig and the Cultural Summer North Hessen, and in 2008, debuts at the Schwetzinger Festspiele, the Music Summer Oberstdorf, the Rheingau Festival, and the Beethovenfest Bonn.

A second prize at the International Chamber Music Competition "Verfemte Musik" in 2004 in Schwerin led the arirang Quintet to a concert tour to Vienna, Brno, and Prague ("Prague Spring Music Festival"). In 2005, they won second prize at the International Wind Quintet Competition "Henri Tomasi" in Marseille. Additionally, in 2005, they won the second prize at the International Chamber Music Competition in Osaka.
Thanks to their successful participation in the German Music Competition 2007 in Berlin, the arirang Quintet became scholarship holders of the German Music Council and were included in the 52nd Federal Selection "Concerts of Young Artists."

The Young German Philharmonic, which has been one of the leading symphony orchestras in the Federal Republic of Germany since its founding in 1974, is regularly the starting point for the creation of new pioneering ensembles. The orchestra is made up of the 100 best musicians of various nationalities, selected from the 24 German music universities with their 25,000 students. A professional selection process through regular auditions ensures the necessary maintenance of quality standards.
In addition to the Ensemble Modern, the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, the brass ensemble bach, blech & blues, and the string chamber orchestra ensemble resonanz have emerged from the orchestra.

The recently formed arirang Quintet also emerged from an initiative by members of the Young German Philharmonic. Friedrich Haberstock, flute, Jörg Schneider, oboe, Steffen Dillner, clarinet, Sebastian Schindler, horn, and Monika Schneider, bassoon, founded the ensemble in 2002 under the name "Woodwind Quintet of the Young German Philharmonic" during an orchestra tour to North and South Korea. The musical repertoire ranges from classical-romantic works to (premiere) performances of contemporary pieces.
