Parallel 40
Growing up on the island of Menorca, our cellist Pau learned about a concept which made a big impression on him: the 40th Parallel North. “An imaginary line connecting Menorca to faraway places in the World.”
Parallel 40 is an ode to discovery and connection, collecting and arranging music from many different countries and regions found along the 40th Parallel North. Starting in Menorca and heading east, for a full turn around the globe, we will discover music and stories from Menorca, Italy, Greece, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, North Korea, China, Japan, the US, Portugal and Spain.
New repertoire
We have been busy arranging traditional music from several places on the Parallel, as well as finding many original compositions for String Quartet. The aim of Parallel 40 is to create new repertoire for String Quartet and simultaneously discover music from all over the globe. By doing so, we wish to connect people and different cultures and inspire people through our vivid, musical storytelling.
