World Classical Music Series - Berlin Philharmonic String Quintet

The Dubai Concert Committee and M Premiere present

Berlin Philharmonic String Quintet.
Truly extraordinary artistry of strings.

The Philharmonic String Quintet Berlin (PSB) consists of 5 members of the world leading orchestra, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and is unique in its instrumentation: instead of enlarging the string quartet with an additional viola or cello, the ensemble is completed by adding a double bass. This deliberate choice allows the ensemble to act like a one-to-a-part string orchestra since all five string sections are represented: “Based on our experiences, the compositions gain tremendously in breadth of sound.”
The quintet thereby crosses the boundaries of a purely chamber music setting towards a formation with symphonic dimensions.
Their first concert was given in February 2007 in Belgium. With great success! Within a short period of time it advanced to a popular ensemble, meanwhile guesting in the whole of Europe and touring in Asia several times per year.

Members of the quintet:
Luiz Felipe Coelho (1st violin)
Romano Tommasini (2nd violin)
Wolfgang Talirz (viola)
David Riniker (violoncello)
Janusz Widzyk (double bass)
