http://blog.moyaquartet.com/ MOYA Trombone Quartet “Esprit en Musique” The name MOYA derives from the Zulu word uMoya which means the wind and spirit. For us it means both because wind is what makes our instruments play and spirit is what makes our music live. MOYA, initially called The Round Midnight Quartet, was formed in 2006 by Andrea Bandini and Kurt Sturtzenegger in the Conservatoire of Geneva. MOYA is a unique quartet in that its members have very different, lively characters, each coming from a different background. This blend creates a unique style drawing from each of our characters. Since its creation MOYA has established a large repertoire covering many different époques and is equally adept at Ancient music on sackbut’s as it is when playing classical, romantic, jazz, popular and contemporary music. MOYA prides itself on its ability to produce tailor made concerts with a repertoire finely adjusted to the venue and audience. MOYA is an organisation that actively pursues new concert concepts like developing an educational program for children to establish interest in classical music and brass instruments in particular. The MOYA quartet is currently studying a Master’s in chamber music at the Staatliche Hochschule in Trossingen, Germany under the tutelage of Abbie Conant. “The MOYA Quartet strives to make a difference in the world’s perception of entertainment.” en Wed, 17 Feb 2010 14:02:14 +0100 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Dotclear http://blog.moyaquartet.com/post/2008/10/26/Welcome-to-MOYA-s-Blog urn:md5:d7100b606f3a74c29b1cef32d2ddc09f Sat, 29 Aug 2009 01:00:00 +0000 Ross <p><img src="http://blog.moyaquartet.com/public/./.P1070147_m.jpg" alt="MOYA in Budapest" title="MOYA in Budapest, Oct 2008" /><br /> <strong>Christophe Legrand, Ross Butcher, Francesco D'Urso, Jean-Sebastian Scotton</strong><br /> “Esprit en Musique”<br /> The MOYA Trombone Quartet is based in Geneva, Switzerland.
