vision string quartet

If there is one fresh young ensemble that’s ebullient and really loves playing music, then that ensemble is the vision string quartet, formed in 2012. The four Berlin-based members of the group are not only at home in the classic string quartet repertoire, they also throw themselves with equal talent at jazz, pop and rock music. Winner of the Felix Mendelssohn competition in Berlin, the Würth-Preis and the Concours de Génève, the quartet is now close to releasing its first CD. This is the third time that the four musicians will perform at the Elbphilharmonie – this time with a demanding programme with works by composers ranging from Debussy to Shostakovich and the minimalist String Quartet No. 2 by contemporary Swiss composer Jürg Frey.
