Alcea Quartet becomes BL!NDMAN Alcea [strings]!

the Alcea Quartet was formed during a masterclass of the Danel Quartet in the summer of 2012 at the Rurhof domain.

The Alcea Quartet was part of the Festival of Musiq’3 (radio station) in Jun 2013 at Flageyn where they interpreted ‘Der Tod und das Mädchen” of Schubert.
