Rosarium Recorder Quartet
The Rosarium Recorder Quartet - consisting of the four musicians: Carolin Daub, Fabian Grosch, Rong-Jen Hung and Vladimir Soares - is an international ensemble performing a wide range of music from the Renaissance to the present day. The four musicians met while studying the recorder at the State University of Music and Performing Arts in Stuttgart and formed a quartet in 2021.

Their performances have been praised for their technical prowess and creative interpretations, which combine balanced ensemble playing with improvisation and embellishments. With their passionate and creative performances, the Rosarium Recorder Quartet is a shining example of the power and beauty of the recorder.
