They did a marvelous job in staging a series of concerts. In one of the concerts, there was an attempt to play Mozart's Flute Quartet with a flute and 4 harmonicas. This was the first experience of touching the essence of chamber music and it was fantastic. This prompted the formation of the King's Harmonica Quintet in mid-summer of 1987. The first pieces were bold attempts of the Borodin's String Quartet No.2 and Dvorak's American Quartet.
String quartets are the richest resources of ensemble music.
We do have some pieces arranged for six people for technical reasons. They are usually larger ensemble or orchestral pieces. We find these handy when some of our friends want to join us. Broadly speaking, we are specializing in classical music. The majority of the Quintet's repertoire are string quartets of masters spanning 3 centuries, from Mozart to Shostakovich.
