Moderation and talks

Leonie Reineke

One of Germany’s most renowned string quartets returns to Klangwerkstatt Berlin: the Minguet Quartet. This year it presents current works by Elnaz Seyedi, Anda Kryeziu, Kunsu Shim, Toshio Hosokawa, and Lisa Streich. As different as their musical languages may be, the composers share a great clarity, strength, and freshness in their music. Their compositions respond to the world and the society in which they live: to threat, violence, and fragility, but also to the beauty inherent in everything.
