The violin is a bowed instrument with 4 strings tuned in perfect 5ths.G-D-A-E with G being the lowest string found just under middle C
. Th violin is also a classical instrument and this is where it is most frequently heard and played yet due to it's large repertoire it can be discovered in all sorts of bands, ensembles and genres from classical to country to rock.
The Manhattan String Quartet is America's leading ensembles. They constantly perform 20th century pieces in their own distinctive style.
They also have a brilliant reputation on the world stage as interpreters of the 15 string quartets of Dmitri Shostakovich. They have made Time Magazine's best classical music list with their transversal of the Shostakovich cycle. They have presented the cycle in its complete form in New york town, Paris and varied other locations.
Schubert - Quartet 14 in D minor, "Death & the Maiden"
The Quartet hold regular workshops around the world. The median price of these workshops is $180 each. Compared to the course that member Eric Lewis offers online, this price is steep. However there's naturally no replacement for being right there with the group members. If you have taken the course that Eric offer and are ready to actually take your playing to the next step then a Manhattan String Quartet is for you.
The workshops offer one on one coaching plus rehearsals, talks and naturally a performance by the Quartet themselves. This high level coaching is an once in an entire life opportunity and I'm able to strongly recommend that you go to if you've got the chance. But it's not for newbs : you want to master your violin skills first.
The Manhattan String Quartet are an impressively professional group who will blow your intellect when you hear them. Ensure you pick up some of their recordings and so you can not only enjoy their music but also pick up some advice for your own playing!
