Alinde Quartett

Portrait Ensemble 2024/25

Eugenia Ottaviano and Gregor Hrabar from the Alinde Quartet talk to Katherina Knees about life in a quartet.

Eugenia Ottaviano and Gregor Hrabar from the Alinde Quartet talk to Katherina Knees about life in a quartet. How are decisions made, who decides the programme, who plans the concerts? How did the quartet get its name? And what is it like to be in a quartet where three members are related: brothers Guglielmo Dandolo Marchesi, second violin, and Bartolomeo Dandolo Marchesi, cello, and Guglielmo's wife Eugenia Ottaviano, first violin. In the podcast, the two quartet members talk about what it means to be the Cologne Philharmonic's portrait ensemble.
