 On
the November 29, UNI ART Performance
- concert management of the Mozarteum School of Music organized an audition
with a task to discover and promote new names, both soloists and ensembles,
by enrolling them into management's artistic program. Mihael Paar and
Mirabell Quartet
chose to perform Mozart's
Clarinet Quintet in A-major KV 581 (the so-called
Stadler-Quintet) and were unanimously
admitted into the program. By coming under the patronage of UNI ART
Performance, the ensemble will now
regularly take part in concert events and festivals all across Austria and
Germany, thus extending their concert activities and stamping the way
towards foreign podiums. The Mirabell Quartet
itself stands alone as one of the most distinguished string quartets of the
Mozarteum University; internationally built up by violinists Kathrin ten
Hagen (Ger) and Asa Nakajima (Jpn), violist Alexandru Bota (Rum) and cellist
Johannes Kubitschek (Aut), Quartet
earned smooth critiques from Salzburg's press as well as the prestigious
Raiffeisen Klassik-Preis award in May
2005. Together with M.Paar, they labour under the
mentorship of Rainer Schmidt, member of the world renowned Hagen
Quartet, and professor at the Mozarteum
School of Music in Salzburg.
