Back in the Mid West!
QNG was visiting Grinnell College/Iowa and Rome/NY. We gave concerts and a masterclass. The beautiful Capitol Theatre in Rome from 1928 with its historic theatre organ reminded us of silent movies with live accompaniment.
Our stay in Turning Stone Resort Casino Hotel felt completely different.
Another debut is QNG´s cooperation with film regisseur Christoph Zachariae. The music to his short film „Nur ein Traum“ written by Stefan Ziethen was recorded by QNG in April 2007 in Berlin.

QNG´s first performance in Luxembourg was during the „B-Days concert series“ at the Centre des Arts Pluriels in Ettelbruck. We also sold our CD the first time successfully after a regular concert. The day after in Luxembourg City: Is this a potential new QNG outfit?
Finally our debut CD was released on 28th of April. We celebrated in the bewohnBAR in Berlin.
QNG attracted a huge public in Linz and Hallein. Both venues were sold out. A workshop at the „Musikschule der Stadt Linz“ was visited by many talented students of four recorder classes. The critics were enthousiastic. Read the online forum „Drehpunkt Kultur“.
QNG premiered two work by the American composers Gordon Beeferman („Passages“) and Nissim Schaul („Everybody´s going there“). The concert took place in Symphony Space in New York City on 10th Februari 2007.

The cabaret stage in the Lutterbeker near Kiel hosted QNG and their High Voltage program in the weekend of 21st January 2007. The „Cybergirls“ received great critics in Kiel´s newspaper. Klick the link to read the article (German).
We would like to thank the swiss recorder maker Küng for a very kind and generous present. He sponsored QNG a c-Bass in stained maple.
