The “Quartetto Noûs” (Tiziano Baviera – violin, Alberto Franchin – violin, Sara Dambruoso – viola, Tommaso Tesini – cello) will be in concert on April 9th at 19:00 at the Italian Institute of Culture in Berlin. “Noûs” (nùs) is an ancient Greek term which means “mind” and therefore “rationality”, but also inspiration and creative ability. The Noûs Quartet, consisting of four young Italian musicians, was founded in 2011 at the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana of Lugano. The quartet frequents the “Walter Stauffer” Academy of Cremona in the class of the Cremona Quartet, and the Musik Akademie of Basel, studying with Rainer Schmidt (Hagen Quartett). It further consolidated itself with Aldo Campagnari (Quartetto Prometeo), Hatto Beyerle (Alban Berg Quartett) and later at the Escuela Superior de Música “Reina Sofia” in Madrid and the Chigiana Music Academy of Siena with Günter Pichler (Alban Berg Quartett). They also frequent Musikhochschule of Lübeck in the class of Heime Müller (Artemis Quartett).
