“More than two years since we’ve last been in Dhaka,” they wrote. “For more than two years we did not visit our beloved Bangladeshi friends and we didn’t have the chance to play music together. We missed them a lot!”

“Taposh and his beautiful wife Farzana Munny honoured us by inviting us to their daughter's wedding. Here we are, preparing our show and being excited to see them again and have an unforgettable evening.”

 

The band had previously featured in the sixth season of Gaan Bangla TV's 'Wind of Change' series, which aired in May 2020.

They are among the first groups to combine an all-electric instrument array to blend classical and modern European music styles.

The group consists of Andreea Runceanu and Bianca Gavrilescu on violin, Patricia Cimpoiasu on cello and Laura Lazarescu on piano. They have been performing together for 20 years.

The quartet have released six studio albums, with their latest – 2020’s JOY – being an independent release.
