Eberhard Feltz and the Fibonacci Quartet present Eberhard’s Werkstatt
"In each Werkstatt, I strive to delve deeper into this sense of wonder and interest." - from the preface of "Genauer als Worte" (More Precise than Words; by Eberhard Feltz).
Eberhard's Werkstatt is a workshop for everyone present. Made for an audience that wants to experience the principles of music through participation, observers are invited to bring instrument(s) and, together with Fibonacci Quartet, participate in giving the projected musical score voice. Werkstatt offers observers a unique opportunity to experience that which is in music, for which Eberhard believes no words exist.

The Fibonacci String Quartet was formed in September 2019 and consists of students of David Takeno (International Chair of Violin Eugène Ysaÿe), Matthew Jones and Louise Hopkins at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, UK. It is an international ensemble, bringing together Czech, Belgian, Welsh and Montenegrin nationalities. The quartet is coached and mentored by Krysia Osostowicz, a renowned violinist and chamber musician; a.o. first violin of the Brodsky String Quartet and the Dante String Quartet and principal violinist of the Endymion Ensemble.
In addition to their studies in London, they were accepted to the renowned Dutch String Quartet Academy (NSKA), and invited to be a part of the “ProQuartet” organisation in Paris.
