KUD Mreža’s event series for classical and contemporary composed music Metabonma is excited to present the performance of the Furiant String Quartet at Klub Gromka on 14 March, Tuesday at 9 pm.

The Furiant String Quartet was formed in 2011, its members – Stefano Mesaglio on first violin, Vlad Popescu on second violin, Gregor Hrabar on viola, and Nika Švarc on cello – have studied at the Kärntner Landeskonservatorium in Klagenfurt with Elisabeth Fister, and in October 2013, the four musicians were accepted in the class of Professor Eberhard Feltz at the Hochschule für Musik “Hanns Eisler” Berlin.

This time classical composed music comes to a punk-rock club with pieces written for string quartet by composers such as Joseph Haydn, Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich and Ludwig van Beethoven. Metabonma revives in a more settled and relaxed form, and presents accessible classical music for those who may not have been close to these historical, but timeless classics.

Programme:

· Joseph Haydn: String Quartet in G major, Op. 76, No. 1
· Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich: String Quartet No. 8 in C minor (Op. 110)
· Ludwig van Beethoven: String Quartet in E minor, Op. 59, No. 2 “Rasumovsky”

An old acquaintance on the Ljubljana free jazz and improvised music scene, Martin Küchen is returning after a few years break, this time with his Swedish friend and collaborator Herman Müntzing as duo Scheibenhonig. At ŠKUC Gallery they are going to present and promote their debut album Rop På Hjälp which got released recently on Inexhaustible Editions.

The opening set of the evening will be presented by the viola-cello duo of Szilárd Mezei and Albert Márkos. Mezei’s playing is full of dynamism, sense of transition between various musical expressions – so what we can expect here is a full-blooded, exciting and highly concentrated mind-game with his long-time collegue, classically trained cellist, Albert Márkos.

Dajana Durić is going to tell us about the background of the project: ideas behind the design as well as some interesting details about the long process of creating her displayed artwork. The gallery team is keen to ask her about connections between her original site-specific installation and the Far-Eastern concepts of harmony and peace, and also about want do they mean to her personally.
