Info
The vision string quartet impresses with its distinctive performance style and breaks down genre boundaries with innovative programmes. The ensemble sees itself as both a classical string quartet and a pop band. In the first half of this concert, it performs the meditative Prélude (Recueillement) by Ernest Bloch and Béla Bartók’s expressive Fourth String Quartet – a brilliant synthesis of modernism and Hungarian folk music. The second half is dedicated to jazz and pop music, with the vision string quartet presenting new pieces from its Spektrum II project.

Biography
vision string quartet
From the garden allotment to the big stage is just a small step: in one of their music videos, the four musicians of the vision string quartet casually pluck out a relaxed samba while moving through the setting of a German allotment garden colony – complete with Hawaiian leisure outfits, swimming pool, and unicorn float. Then again, they stride onto the world’s great stages in elegant attire and perform the core string quartet repertoire at the highest level – always from memory and (with the exception of the cellist) standing. After studying with the Artemis Quartet and Günter Pichler, the primarius of the Alban Berg Quartet, and after gaining success in competitions, the ensemble, founded in 2012, quickly came into the international spotlight. The quartet’s vision includes broadening stylistic horizons and integrating arrangements from pop and jazz as well as their own compositions into their concert programmes. With their groove and imaginative improvisations, the four musicians demonstrate that combining classical fidelity to the work with an experimental band feel is not a daring balancing act, but lived musicality. The proof: among their performance venues are such prominent concert halls as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Tonhalle Zurich, the Berlin Philharmonie, the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, and London’s Wigmore Hall. They have also toured Japan, Australia, and Korea.
