Quintessences String Quartet

 

  The Amsterdam based String Quartet "Quintessences" is an international formation consisting of the finest players who have the common goal to build bridges between a vast variety of musical stiles like jazz, classical, pop, rock, funk and soul, folklore, latin and countless other styles.

During their short time of existence since 2012 they have already been playing with a long list of great artists such as Chis Kok, Julia Oschewsky, Chistian Pabst, Laura Polence - Breno Vericimo Duo, Ten-Hut, Ray Klaassen, Ana Roque, Rafael Fraga, Noam Vazana and many more.

The strongest asset of the formation in the collaboration with different kind of artist allowing their music to shine in a different light, giving new perspectives and cleaning up once and for all with the prejudice that classical formation such as a string quartet cannot rock!

 

    The hidden force of this group is Michael Becker, an accomplished arranger and conductor who specialized in big ensemble and string writing.

The collaboration between Michael and the String Quartet has produced a beautiful repertoire of string music which is true to the classical idea and demands of the string quartet whilst always pushing the group and it's musical concepts beyond conventional borders.

 

"For sure Quintessences boldly go where hardly no formation of its kind has gone before. THEY ROCK!!"
