Recently Envoy has been hosting a lot of musicians. So when Satori Quartet decided to stay with us we were very excited to host them here. “Satori” means enlightenment so we can surely say that Yerevan was enlightened by the pure heart music of these four young professionals. They all come from Germany who used to play in the same orchestra and later formed their own quartet. Members of the Satori say that being as a chamber music ensemble they want to open guitar music to a wider audience both by maintaining the classical guitar repertoire and by interpreting the works dedicated to the guitar quartet.
Karl Rensch and Michael Zeuner first had the idea of organizing concerts in the Caucasus. Two years earlier these guys visited Armenia and Georgia as backpackers. They were amazed by the natural beauty of this region and deeply touched by the cultural heritage of these countries. When they got back to Germany they tried to find and contact few officials in Yerevan and Tbilisi to organize charity concerts here. Their bright idea was immediately accepted and soon they had their instruments packed ready to further pursue their goal. After getting here they rented a car and started travelling from one country to the other. Their daily schedule was very interesting - 6, 7 hours of sightseeing and only 1or 2 hours of practicing the pieces they were going to perform. Being independent travelers and musicians on the road was the main highlight of their trip.
Their last stop was Yerevan. Envoy was the first hostel they stayed in after staying in a number of B&Bs and families on their way to Armenia. The performance at Lover’s Park was a completely new experience for the musicians. This was the first time Satori played in a park where the public was so far away from the stage but so much engaged into their music. They even wanted to have a little concert at Envoy but there was not enough time for this.
Their next destination is going to be Brazil after which they will release their first CD.
We wish you best of luck with all your goals!
