Winners of the German Record Critics’ Award and the biggest surprise of the 2006 Berlin Jazz Festival, the radio.string.quartet are a sensation and come to Windsor as part of a eagerly anticipated UK tour.

The story of radio.string.quartet began in 2000, when Austrian composer/accordionist Klaus Paier asked Bernie Mallinger to put together a string quartet for his CD ‘Moviemento’. The CD was nominated for the prestigious Amadeus Award, the Moviemento string quartet became increasingly in demand and thus the radio.string.quartet was born.

The quartet are a group of musicians who bring an unparalleled energy to the stage. They are the new bastions of Vienna’s austere musical tradition, representing centuries of excellence and infusing this with a new and vital heartbeat, keeping Europe’s undisputed capital of music’s rich tradition alive in a refreshingly unconventional way.

'The quartet not only captures Mahavishnu Orchestra's dynamics, complexity and sometimes reckless fury, but its improvisational aspect as well. This is no polite string quartet; it's as much a take-no-prisoners ensemble as the group it references.'(www.allaboutjazz.com)

'The group quickly established how effectively Asja Valcic's cello could provide both a drumlike drive and a thumping bassline, while violinists Bernie Mallinger and Johannes Dickbauer and viola player Cynthia Liao soared over it." (Guardian)

Concert begins at 9pm.  Tickets: £12 GA, £10 Concs, £9 Mem

Very Special Offer 2 Tickets for £14 (please use offer code WINDSOR when prompted by the website or box office)
