The London-based Balanescu Quartet unites four different cultures. With radical accuracy they interpret music from multiple musical domains. Their passionate belief in direct communication with the audience and their aim to confront classics with contemporary music, gives their concerts a surprising and dynamic resonance. The wide range of their repertoire includes e.g. works of Goran Bregovic (musical collaborator of filmdirector Emir Kusturica), Michael Nyman, John Lurie, Kraftwerk.
