BRAHMS – BRITTEN - BEATLES

FEUERBACH STRING QUARTETT  SPECIAL!

"The Redefinition of Chamber Music"

​

Four musicians from four nations who love to make music together.

​

Founded in 2013, the FEUERBACH QUARTETT has today become almost synonymous with innovative adaptations of sophisticated, modern rock and pop music for classical string quartet.

 

What began as an idea is now a true sensation on the concert stages of Europe, with more than 100 engagements annually. There are no barriers, whether in the classical concert hall, at a pop open-air, at an industrial gala, or in a small socio-cultural center...

The FEUERBACH QUARTETT has now put together a concert program that creates a symbiosis of truly timeless music: The proven chamber music tradition of Johannes Brahms, represented by his 1st String Quartet, the rarely heard “Simple Symphony” by Benjamin Britten, born in 1913, as well as his most prominent contemporaries: The Beatles, whose music must now undoubtedly be called classical.

 

​

​

"With cheeky pizzicatos, as refined as intelligent arrangements, and incredible joy of playing, the quartet manages to give the songs its own, unmistakable sound."

Max Eisinger, Violine II

Max Eisinger was born in 1993 in Munich and began playing the violin at the age of 5. Through Klezmer music, he discovered his love for improvisation, which eventually led him to jazz. At 11, he made his debut in the Munich Philharmonic, and regular performances as a soloist, jazz, and orchestral musician shaped his childhood and youth. He performed with the Munich Radio Orchestra, the Young German Philharmonic, the Stegreif Orchestra Berlin, the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, as well as with numerous jazz formations, including Gypsy-jazz guitarists Stochelo Rosenberg and Diknu Schneeberger, and saxophonist Mulo Francel (Quadro Nuevo).

Max studied classical violin, jazz, and composition in Nuremberg, Hanover, Warsaw, and Amsterdam. Engagements as a musician and composer took him to Austria, Italy, Ireland, Luxembourg, Israel, Poland, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. Since 2021, he has held a teaching position at the Academy for Theatre and Dance in Amsterdam and is a sought-after instructor for chamber music and improvisation, including at the Music Academy Weikersheim, the University of Music, Theatre, and Media Hannover, at the national competition Jugend Musiziert, and the Music Swap Lab of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, with which he won the OPUS KLASSIK in 2021.
