Short Biography

Veronika Gottfried | violin
Sophie Gansch | violin
Ines Miklin | viola
Marianne Bruckner | Violoncello

StringFizz was founded in 2001. The musicians Veronika Gottfried (1st violin), Sophie Gansch (2nd violin), Ines Miklin (viola) and Marianne Bruckner (violoncello) have acquired a large repertoire off the beaten track of music for string quartet, where their own and new arrangements play an important role.

In 2002 they met the singer Tini Kainrath. In the theatrical production of “Stella and George” with the actors Katharina Stemberger and Peter Streimelweger (directed by Alexander Hauer), which was shown in the “Posthof” and the “Rosengarten” in Linz, music from the “Juliet Letters” was used. These songs, composed by Elvis Costello and the Brodsky Quartet after ficticious letters to Julia Capulet were performed by StringFizz together with Tini Kainrath in November 2004 in the Radiokulturhaus Wien. An Ö1-CD was produced in July 2005; the official presentation took place in the course of a concert at the Viennese jazz club “Porgy & Bess”.

In July 2006 the Mozart Requiem in the version for string quartet, written by the Beethoven contemporary Peter Lichtenthal, was recorded in a cooperation with the Ö1 radio station and the “Wiener Mozartjahr”. The CD-presentation again took place at the “Porgy & Bess” and was transmitted live on the Austrian radio on the 215th anniversary of Mozart’s death, December 5, 2006.

December 2006 also saw the musical cooperation with the pianist Cyprien Katsaris in a concert where waltzes by the Strauss family in the rarely played arrangements by Arnold Schönberg and Anton von Webern were performed amongst other pieces.

March 2007 recording of own arrangements of tangos by Astor Piazzolla. Presentation of the CD at the Porgy & Bess in June 2007.

July 2007 world premiere of the new project “Gershwin on String” newly and congenially arranged for string quartet and voices by Michael Radanovics; Tini Kainrath and Willi Resetarits will sing with StringFizz at the opening concert of the “Glatt und Verkehrt” festival in Krems, Lower Austria – the production of a CD is planned.

For the coming season numerous appearances amongst others in the Wiener Musikverein and at various festivals are scheduled.
