Violinist Ray Chen's new quartet, Made in Berlin, featuring members of the Berlin Philharmonic - Noah Bendix-Balgley, Amihai Grosz and Stephan Koncz - performs an arrangement of Eric Satie's Gymnopédie no.1.
The ensemble gave its first public performance in The Netherlands in October 2016.

In a break from practice, Ray Chen sets himself a challenge to play as if his E string has just broken while admitting that it is not something you can defend against or even practise for – and therefore not worth worrying about either
From Dutch broadcaster Avrotros comes this video of Ray Chen performing Kreisler’s Tambourin Chinois with Amsterdam Sinfonietta, lead by Candida Thompson. Filmed on 17 February 2019 at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
