Nathalie Flintrop is the new cellist of Ragazze Quartet! We are extremely happy and proud that, with the arrival of Nathalie, we are once again complete as a string quartet. The public has already been able to experience Nathalie several times with Ragazze Quartet. She played in our programma PART and joined us already in live performances of But Not My Soul.

Rosa Arnold (violin), Jeanita Vriens (violin) and Annemijn Bergkotte (viola) about Nathalie: ‘We are extremely happy to welcome Nathalie as a new Ragazze. Nathalie is a very talented cellist with great chamber music skills who blends seamlessly into the quartet. Moreover, she is a true maker and she loves performing in interdisciplinary productions. She is adventurous and engaged. In other words: a real Ragazze! We are very much looking forward to walking a new path with her.’

Ragazze Quartet will be seen and heard for the first time in its new line-up in the upcoming performance ‘Normality No More’, a multidisciplinary show about neurodiversity. This performance is a co-production with Via Berlin and Conny Janssen Danst and will premiere on 20 December. For more information, see Normality No More. The full performance list can be found in the Calendar.
