The Darmstadt Beatles String Quintet

Formed in January 1994, the group are a traditional string quartet plus a double bass. 'The Darmstadt Beatles' repertoire consists of over 100 Beatles songs - all arranged by Martinus Boll.

The five are all professional musicians with backgrounds in classical music. They have known each other for many years having played in various local orchestras in Germany. They are always prepared to tackle new horizons, such as the music of The Beatles! Their premiere in Liverpool last year was met with great enthusiasm! As well as playing their own concerts of Beatles music, they also contribute the string parts to Beatles cover bands, both National and International!!

A great alternative interpretation of the Beatles music!

Mathias Preuss - First Violin; Juliane Harbarth - Second Violin; Wolfgang Muller - Viola; Ulrich Pietsch - Cello; Martinus Boll - Double Bass
