Mandelring String Quartet

Sunday, March 9 at 3:00pm Minsky Recital Hall

Winning a number of prestigious competitions - Munich (ARD), Evian and Reggio Emilia (Premio Paolo Borciani) - has sped the Mandelring Quartet on their way to the world's great concert halls. The latest prize in their collection, the Kunstpreis des Landes Rheinland-Pfalz, was awarded in Autumn 2001. Alongside regular engagements in Germany, the quartet give concert tours in many of the major European concert halls, amongst them: Amsterdam, Brussels, Copenhagen, London, Madrid, Milan, Paris and Vienna. The world's metropolises such as New York, Vancouver and Sao Paulo, can be found in the quartet's concert diary along with some rather more unusual destinations: Algiers, Beirut, Casablanca, Damascus, Lima, P'yongyang and Ramallah. They have been invited to festivals such as Lockenhaus, Montpellier, Montreal, the Rheingau Festival, the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival and the Salzburg Festival.
