Quinteto de la Filarmónica de Berlín

Chamber ensemble formed by instrumentalists linked to the Berlin Philharmonic, which on this occasion is joined by the clarinet of Miguel Ángel Tamarit in the Sala de Cámara of the Auditorio Nacional de Madrid.

The Philharmonisches Streichquintett Berlin, or Berlin Philharmonic String Quintet, brings together experienced musicians connected to the Berliner Philharmoniker and other European orchestras. It gave its first concert in Belgium in 2007 and since then has performed across Europe and Asia, with appearances on Spanish stages.

In this programme it shares the stage with the Valencian clarinettist Miguel Ángel Tamarit, trained in Valencia, Salzburg and Vienna and a regular at festivals and venues across Europe. His clarinet engages with the strings in a chamber repertoire ranging from the classicism of Mozart to Romantic expansion and operatic inspiration.

The works and arrangements include pieces by Weber, Tchaikovsky, Bottesini, Sarasate, Mendelssohn, Paganini, Shostakovich, Verdi and Dvořák, with a notable emphasis on instrumental virtuosity. The venue, the Auditorio Nacional de Música, hosts concerts and performances in Madrid.
