The Meraki Quartet invites us on a musical journey around the world. In their company, we explore distant landscapes as well as a range of emotions. The four musicians break the conventions of classical concerts: no more music stands or sheet music to create a boundary. On stage, we are amazed to see them dance and whirl with their instruments. And the sensory journey continues as the vibrations of the strings approach our ears, much to our delight. A captivating musical voyage! From age 3.
