Porin string quartet

The band Porin string quartet plays classical music. The band consists of 4 people: Dunja Bontek (violin), Tamara Petir (violin), Lucija Brnadic (viola) and Neva Begovic (cello). The music was quite calm and that was perhaps the best thing about this performance. People could relax and have fun at the same time. I didn't know that I would ever say that classical music is quite interesting. The music they played had a good rhythm and it was nice to listen to. They played 6 different songs. First of all, they started with the song called ''String quartet Op. 33 No.3 by J. Haydn: Finale. Rondo-Presto''. Then they played ''W. A. Mozart: Divertimento in D major: presto''. Then they played the song ''String quartet in F major: Allegro moderato, Tres doux'' by M. Ravel, and the last three songs were: ''Folklor cassations: Scherzo'' by M. Miletic, ''Sinfonia in D major: Andante'' by L. Sorkocevic and ''String quartet No.8: Largo and Allegro moderato'' by D. Shostakovich.

During the performance, the artists introduced themselves and talked a little about their lives and how their interest turned into these instruments. The artists brought the children into the performance, and their task was to touch each of the people playing. As a result, the person stopped playing and eventually came in and created a rhythm. On one song, they asked viewers to close their eyes to dream away. The song made the audience relax. In between, I heard a lot of positive comments like 'Oh, that's great' and 'they're very good'.

The music told us something. For example: On one song we could feel happy and relaxed, while on the penultimate song we could feel that something negative is going to happen. It was quite a good feeling to attend such an amazing concert played by 4 incredibly talented people. The audience had fun and that is perhaps most important. Adults laughed at the children who thought it was fun to touch the artists, who had also played a song at the table. During the performance, you could clearly see that they have a great passion, which has developed over many years. It was very exciting to listen to them.
