| Matinee | Klassikkonzert | quattro corde 2025 |

In the organizer's words:

"Hidden depth beneath the apparent simplicity"

The quattro corde is an international string quartet that has been playing together successfully for several years. The four musicians, Marina Miloradovic (violin), Katja Scheffler (violin), Hayaka Sarah Komatsu (viola) and Karola von Borries (violoncello), are members of the Bremen Philharmonic Orchestra. With a great deal of joy and energy, they try to express themselves in terms of content and music with their programs, which are close to their hearts.

Benjamin Britten's "Simple Symphony" and Franz Schubert's "Death and the Maiden" could not be more different. While Britten's work, with its boisterous, playful and exuberant childhood memories, conveys a cheerful and light mood, Schubert's masterpiece brings out the existential side of life. With a tense tone and concentrated energy, he achieves the art "that one is left with a melody as of songs, entirely sentimental and entirely expressive."
