Quartetto con Affetto

Quartetto con Affetto - The name tells the story

A mutual desire to create a sound both intense and sensitive led the four musicians, Lucia Dimmeler, Eva Grießhaber, Bettina Haugg and Manuela Mohr, in 1991, on a path that united this remarkable ensemble of four recorder players. Their artistic education was received in Freiburg, Karlsruhe, and Leipzig (Germany); Zürich and Basel (Switzerland); and Amsterdam (The Netherlands) where they completed their studies with distinction. The four make a convincing and strong stage presence, bringing audiences under their spell through a joy of playing and pronounced homogeneity - with strong affection (con affetto). Through the development and arrangement of various repertoire from Medieval times through to the present, and contact with contemporary composers, Quartetto con Affetto is able to extend its range. The ensemble also receives new musical impulses through teaching by the individual members, as well as their work together with renowned musicians of other genres (singing, percussion, dance) with whom unusual programmes can develop.
