Salut Salon is a chamber music quartet from Hamburg, with two violinist, a cellist, and a pianist, all women. It was founded in 2002 by violinists Angelika Bachmann and Iris Siegfried. They have been called "the Harlem Globetrotters of string quartets." Their repertoire includes arranged classical music, themes from folk music and film soundtracks, as well as original chansons, tango, pop music, puppet shows and instrumental acrobatics, "a crossover that defies the strict classification of classical and popular music."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.youtube.com/user/SalutSalon/about )〕 A number of their performances have appeared on YouTube, gathering lots of publicity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.warnerclassics.com/salut-salon/news/1279 )〕 == History == The two founders of the quartet met when they shared a desk in a school music rehearsal in the 1980s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.warnerclassics.com/salut-salon/bio )〕 Since then, they have performed together ceaselessly, notably after they graduated high school, with the pianist Ameli Winkler. They would play salon music together in the style that was popular in the 19th and 20th centuries. Their first performance as a quartet was in autumn of 1999, with Bachmann and Siegfried on the violins, Winkler on the piano, and Simone Bachmann on the cello.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.kennedy-center.org/artist/B79273 )〕 On January 3, 2003 they played their first major public concert in the Hamburg Musikhalle. That same year, their first CD was produced for the Warner label, ''What Can the Heart Return''. Shortly after its release, Warner offered them a record deal. Since then, the quartet plays more than 100 concerts a year, with a changing formation, although Bachmann and Siegfried remain throughout.〔 Since 2008, they've performed consistently with the pianist Anne von Twardowski and the cellist Sonja Lena Schmid. In 2003 Salon performed their first international concert.〔 Since then they have had many appearances abroad, in the United States, Canada, Chile, Russia, Switzerland, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, and China, where they represented Hamburg as musical ambassadors in the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gg-art.com/news/read.php?newsid=54056 )〕 They have also appeared on television and radio numerous times. Salut Salon celebrated their tenth anniversary in 2012 with a world tour. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Salut Salon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
