Ensemble Essentia

The Ensemble Essentia is a newly founded chamber ensemble consisting of musicians from South Tyrol and Austria. What began as a birthday concert with friends has now developed into a permanent ensemble. The concert at the Brixen Music School features two gems of chamber music literature: Johannes Brahms' String Quintet No. 2 and String Sextet No. 1.

Andrea Stadler and Ester Carturan, viola
