A cosmos that can hardly be surpassed in its complexity and fascination...

For people who have rockclimbed together for years, the rope is more than a safety device to prevent falls.  It’s a kind of umbilical cord that makes the usual climbing calls unnecessary:  sensations can even be transmitted through it from one to the other.  In chamber music, for example in the string quartet, after many years of making music together, one encounters a similar phenomenon.  Within an invisible ring, which seems to bind the performers together, a process of group dynamics awakes which transcends the necessary technical and musical skills.  Unpredictable changes in volume and tempo by one member, for instance, are perceived by the others through a kind of radar and they adjust within a barely measurable time - imperceptible to the listener.
The constant interplay of concentration, reflex and manual dexterity, embedded in that atmosphere of foresight and trust, so difficult to describe, creates a cosmos that can hardly be surpassed in its complexity and fascination.

Concerts with narration

In addition to traditional chamber music concerts, we also present concerts with narration, which have received a wide audience.  These narrated concerts include various instrumentations from string quartet or quintet to mixed works with winds or piano. We’ll gladly provide proven programme suggestions and will adapt to any special ideas of a presenter.
Our highly-qualified musicians of various nationalities, some of whom have joined in our projects for decades, hold leading positions in the Vienna Chamber Orchestra or other internationally-renowned ensembles. Our friend of many years and violist, John Moffatt, intersperses his commentary (in English, French or German) between the works. Have a look a live video clips from two concerts with narration in India (2009).  For further information, contact us directly though the website.
