Founded by Daniel Gauthier, the Alliage Quartet consists of four exceptionally successful musicians. Performing in concert halls across Europe, the ensemble received the Echo Classic Award with their album Una Voce Poco Fa in 2005. Meticulously composed quartet arrangements of masterpieces such as Mendelssohn’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Scheherazade”, Bizet’s “Carmen” and Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess” form the basis of the musical output of Alliage.
