Musikvermittlung as Everyday Practice

Abstract

This contribution is dedicated to another practical format of Musikvermittlung that was part of the lecture series back in 2019/2020: For the Austrian cello quartet Die Kolophonistinnen with its young musicians Hannah Amann, Marlene Förstel, Elisabeth Herrmann and Theresa Laun, practices of Musikvermittlung are an integral part of their daily professional routines. This is how the quartet has been able to make a name for itself, for its creative performative strategies and special arrangements of works, which all aim to address and connect with the audience, as the lecture series also impressively showed. Based on an interview with Marlene Förstel, Sarah Chaker outlines the motivation and strategies of the ensemble with regard to Musikvermittlung.
