Successful US spring tour!
QNG successfully did its US spring tour! We performed in Laramie at the University of Wyoming, at Boise State University in Idaho, in Naples Florida and New York City. The concert in Trinity Church at the Wall Street was live broadcasted on the web and still can be seen here. An amazing exciting performance we had together with Kronos Quartet, Terry Riley and 70 more great musicians playing Terry Riley´s „IN C“ at Carnegie Hall. We definitely enjoyed being part of this historic performance, the amazing sound of 70 different instruments, getting to know really great musicians, a full hall, standing ovations, etc. and had fun. Read the New York Times review with a cool foto (Heide, Hannah, Terry Riley, Dennis Russel Davies, David Harrington/Kronos Quartet), the Wall Street Journal or The Village Voice. Also don´t forget to watch our foto gallery and the film made at the rehearsal with Terry Riley on the sidebar!
