vision string quartet
It is somewhat unclear whether they are primarily a string quartet or more of a band. This – certainly intentional – ambivalence alone makes the vision string quartet stand out from other such ensembles. Founded in 2012, the group has not only established itself on the international string quartet scene in only a short time but has also turned it upside down a little. With 'something in between nonchalance and expertise' (SWR), the four musicians from Berlin jump effortlessly from the classical string quartet repertoire to their own compositions, as well as jazz, pop and rock arrangements, and they do this in sophisticated concert halls such as the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, the Berlin Philharmonie and London's Wigmore Hall just as well as in the more intimate venue Radialsystem in Berlin or – and in this case, it is certainly fortunate that they do not need sheet music to play – perform 'concerts in the dark' in pitch-black venues. In Neuhardenberg, however, they will be giving a well-lit performance of a programme that includes anything from late Romanticism works to their own adaptations of contemporary jazz and pop pieces.
