Michael Marsolek talks with Helene and Lucien Werner about the quartet's performance at St. Timothy's Summer Music Festival, August 24.
Young musicians Andree, Mariel, Lucien, and Helene Werner are siblings in the Werner Quartet. When not in Montana, they are often traveling around the globe making music. They have been received enthusiastically at Montana State
University’s Guest Artist and President’s Fine Arts Series, by the Music Guild Series in Los Angeles, on National Public Radio’s highly acclaimed program “From the Top,” and as soloists with the Bozeman, Billings, and Great Falls Symphony
Orchestras. In 2012 they performed at Carnegie Hall in New York. During the summers, the quartet studies and performs at festivals abroad, including Peter de Grote Festival, La Ferme de Villefavard, and the Congress de Luthiers in
France
When the Werner Quartet is at home, you can find them putting their musical talents to work for good causes, including the Rescue Mission for the Homeless and the Wyoming Girls School. They share their music in support of the arts and education, and especially for organizations that encourage opportunities for young musicians. They also entertained and amazed St. Timothy audiences in 2004, 2007, and 2012.
