The Simply Quartet, founded in China, trained in Madrid among other places, and based in Vienna, always aims high. As former ECHO Rising Stars, the ensemble returns to Cologne. The quartet continually seeks deeper musical understanding. The name, inspired by a Shanghai restaurant, reflects their diverse backgrounds.
Beethoven's Trio op. 11 was nicknamed the "Gassenhauer Trio" due to its popular variation theme. The program spans Bruch's clarinet trio pieces and Poulenc's Duo to saxophonist Daniel Schnyder's "Worlds Beyond", blending classical, avant-garde, and jazz. Four bassoons feature in Wynton Marsalis' composition, showcasing this rarely solo instrument.
