Overview

Music is intertwined with human emotions. It evokes emotional resonance by delicately depicting our affective responses and sensory feedback. A lively melody paints light footsteps and an unbridled heartbeat, lifting the spirits of the listeners. In contrast, a gentle movement illustrates steady footsteps and clear thoughts, bringing tranquillity to the mind.

Music also symbolises the way we express emotions, with laughter and cries echoing in compositions. The quartet’s playing filled with sentiment, striking a chord within listeners.

Resonance in the Chamber leads the audience to experience the emotional ups and downs conveyed through the rise and fall of melodies, consonance of chords, and variations in tempo of the Romer String Quartet. Let us frolic with the melodies, waltz with the harmonies, and embark on a journey of soaring highs and plunging lows.
