| Violinists V.S. Narasimhan and Hemanthraj Muliyil, Cellist V.R. Sekar and B. J. Chandran who plays the viola get together often to rehearse and give performances in many parts of the country. All members who are active in their professional life as musicians playing for the films find time to meet and practice serious music |
| Madras during the eighties boasted of two groups which performed western music regularly. One was the Madras Philharmonic and Choral Society Orchestra (MPCS) and the other The Madras Chamber Orchestra (MCO).MCO used to be very active with V.S.Narasimhan as its leader and performed regularly until (1985) when it ceased to exist due to crisis that struck the film music industry at that time. With little options available to play classical music, V.S. Narasimhan, Sekar, Chandran and later Hemanthraj Muliyil started meeting whenever they get time to play quartets. |
| Although all members are full-time film musicians, Sekar who plays the Cello says it is out of love for western classical music and the joy of playing chamber music which has made this quartet a dream come true for us While V.S.Narasimhan feels that - although the main aim of this group is to establish MSQ as one of the finest in India, it is also our dream to make this group more experimental. One step in this direction has been made possible by Narasimhan himself. A talented composer himself, Narasimhan has written music for the group using ideas based on Indian classical music and combining it with Western harmonic principles. |
