Schumann Quartett
Info
The Schumann Quartet is a German-Estonian string quartet founded in Cologne in 2007, consisting of the three brothers Erik Schumann (violin), Ken Schumann (violin) and Mark Schumann (violoncello) as well as the viola player Liisa Randalu. It is not named after the composer Robert Schumann, but after the three Schumann brothers.
Info
The Schumann Quartet has reached a stage where anything is possible, because it has dispensed with certainties. This also has consequences for audiences, which from one concert to the next have to be prepared for all eventualities: A work really develops only in a live performance, the quartet says. That is 'the real thing', because we ourselves never know what will happen. On the stage, all imitation disappears, and you automatically become honest with yourself.
