class='ekit-heading__description'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Founded in 2013, the ASSAI cello quartet was born out of an initiative from four symphoniaASSAI musicians to explore and expand their collaboration beyond the symphonic frame. Since then the quartet has been performing regularly in Belgium and other European countries, such as Germany and the Netherlands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each concert represents a unique experience, bringing together the four members\u2019 profound commitment and unceasing motivation for sharing the wonders of chamber music through the distinctive sound of four cellos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Koen Berger, Helena Fuertes, Johanna Peiler and Shuya Tanaka found each other through cello playing and together they combine the character and qualities of four different nationalities: Belgian, Spanish, German, and Japanese.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Passionate about music in general and the cello in particular, the members of the ASSAI cello quartet want to share their enthusiasm and energy not only through orchestral playing, but also through this very particular chamber ensemble.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The quartet\u2019s motivation to interact with all audiences enhances their approach to performing, teaching and mentoring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The four members are active as music educators and they enjoy working with young cellists as a quartet, projecting the empathy and connectivity of chamber music as an example of communication that we should strive for.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73ac81b e-con-full e-flex e-con
