QNG at the 1st Recorder Summit 2011 in Schwelm
Expectations, anticipations and nervousness were „in the air“ before the 1st Recorder Summit 2011 started in Schwelm at the Ruhrgebiet in Germany. All important recorder makers, editors, manufacturers etc. came in order to show their products during a three days exhibition. All workshops were sold out. Great performers such as Dorothee Oberlinger, Maurice Steger, Flanders Recorder Quartett, Flautando Köln, Nadja Schubert etc. did perform in the big local catholic church St. Marien. And among them QNG!!
QNG played „Fantasy in Symmetry“ – our program based on pieces with canonical structures in early and contemporary pieces written for us. Additionally Susi and Andrea presented contemporary recorder sounds and techniques during the workshop „No Fear of New Music“, which was overbooked and a big success.
Gratulations to the organizers Stephanie and Georg Goebel! We had a great time there!
