Cine Concert String Quartet
A truly original and captivating form of entertainment, our exceptional Paris-based string quartet offers unique cine-concerts, where they accompany silent movies with film music composed by the group. They believe cinema has its own exclusive genre of music, and each score is an opportunity to indulge in a unique musical and cinematic world.
The quartet are respectful of the aesthetic of each film, exploring cinematic genres as diverse as slapstick, expressionism, social realism, historical, melodrama, swashbuckler, war, cartoon, and documentary. They have also performed their original scores on a range of international movies, accompanying not only French silent films but also American, German, Russian, and Chinese pictures.
Featuring two violins, a viola, and a cello, our brilliant string quartet allows you to experience a full range of emotions as they play alongside masterpieces of silent cinema. The group shuns all modern technology in favor of the raw experience of pure hand-eye coordination, ensuring the composer keeps the images and sound in fluent synchronisation.
