‘Dandelion’ translates as dandelion or dandelion flower. In search of natural lightness, the ensemble, founded in Munich in 2018, embodies virtuosity and joy of playing in the context of a colourful variety of sounds that can only be experienced in chamber music with a woodwind quintet.
The ensemble studies at the HfMT Munich in the chamber music class of Prof. Reto Bieri and has in the past received inspiration from Eberhard Marschall, Andrea Lieberknecht, Eberhard Feltz, Konstantia Gourzi and Dag Jensen, among others.
The Dandelion Quintet performs regularly at home and abroad and has been a chamber music partner of renowned artists such as Margarita Höhenrieder, with whom it has performed in the Bibiliothek Hall in Polling. The Dandelion Quintet is 1st prize winner of the international competition Ars Ventus BIMC 2019 for woodwind quintet, which it won with the highest number of points awarded.
In 2023, the ensemble will present a chamber music series for contemporary music together with the Feet Become Ears collective. As part of this, the quintet awarded numerous commissions to young composers, which it presented at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Spatial and Cultural Work (Zirka) in Munich in February 2023.
