Testore Quartet

Based in Salzburg, Austria, four outstanding young musicians formed the Testore Quartet during their studies at the Mozarteum University. The environment of this historically rich town with remarkable studying conditions had made it possible for the four musicians to get together with a common goal of attaining the art of chamber music playing by taking on the challenge of becoming one united entity, whilst exploring a wide range of repertoire from Mozart to the 20th Century. Individually, the four members study with world renowned musicians and together they are privileged to be able to work with the faculty of the chamber music department at the Mozarteum University which includes members of the Hagen Quartet and the Vienna Piano Trio amongst others. The Testore Quartet members are a unique combination of personalities from very different backgrounds and cultures thus allowing each member to be able to contribute to shaping the quartet with their own individual experiences. The members of the quartet are: Susanne Schäffer (Germany) - first violin, Jackie Xiao (China) - second violin, Nejc Mikolič (Slovenia) - viola, Ofer Canetti (Israel) - cello. Na koncertu će biti izvedeni Polagani stavak Antona Weberna, gudački kvartet op. 76 Izlazak sunca Josepha Haydna i Voces intimae Jeana Sibeliusa.

As a product of a new collaboration between the Festival Kvarner and Kastav Cultural Summer performance of the Testore Quartet will present the audience in Kastav richness of the common European music history.
