Berlin Philharmonic String Quintet

The Dubai Concert Committee and M Premiere present The Philharmonic String Quintet Berlin (PSB) consists of 5 members of the world leading orchestra, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and is unique in its instrumentation: instead of enlarging the string quartet with an additional viola or cello, the ensemble is completed by adding a double bass.

This deliberate choice allows the ensemble to act like a one-to-a-part string orchestra since all five string sections are represented: вased on our experiences, the compositions gain tremendously in breadth of sound.

The quintet thereby crosses the boundaries of a purely chamber music setting towards a formation with symphonic dimensions.
