PROJECT
THE UNEXPLORED
Traditionally string quartets plan their concert programs according to their artistic ambitions and desires, often not taking into account the space that they will be performing at. The quartet sits almost exclusively in a half-circle in front of the audience creating an invisible wall between the performers and their public. THE UNEXPLORED inverse this paradigm by adapting the performance to each space where the musicians are playing, and thus make each one of our concerts a unique experience, transforming the string quartet concert into a memorable spiritual experience.
