THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Goethe-Zentrum Trivandrum is organising the performance of one of Europe’s most famous classical concert bands, Minguet Quartet, in the city. The performance will be held at Co-Bank Towers on November 20 at 7 pm. The artists in the quartet are, Ulrich Isfort (Violin), Annette Reisinger (Violin), Aroa Sorin (Viola) and Matthias Diener (Violoncello). The quartet has been inspired by Pablo Minguet, born in the 18th century in Madrid, in Spain. In his philosophical writings, he tried to bring the fine arts to a broader public. The Minguet Quartet was established in 1988 and has been playing in its present formation since 1997. The foursome has studied chamber music from the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen and was given additional musical guidance by Walter Levin (La Salle Quartet) and members of the Amadeus, Melos and Alban Berg Quartets. With the help of scholarships and awards, the quartet quickly gained recognition and began to perform widely at home and abroad. The Cologne-based Minguet Quartet performs all over the world; from Europe and Scandinavia to Asia and the USA. The group has been repeatedly engaged by the Wigmore Hall, London and the Philharmonic halls in Berlin and Cologne. The quartet collaborates with many other musicians. As a solo quartet, it has performed with the Munich Chamber Orchestra. This ensemble has many first performances to its credit and plays contemporary music and classical romantic pieces. Entry will be free and free passes can be collected from the Goethe-Zentrum. Contact 3013018.
