The peculiar name Spunicunifait refers to a mysterious three-part word that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote in a letter to his cousin Maria Anna Thekla Mozart. Spuni: "spun" or "woven" / Cuni: "coney" or "rabbit" and fait "made" - that is, something woven from rabbit fur, like the shawl that his beloved cousin Basle wore in a self-portrait. Behind the ensemble Spunicunifait stands a group of five musicians, who all have extensive experience in chamber music and in renowned orchestras such as the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. They founded this ensemble to dedicate themselves to the in-depth study and performance of Mozart's six string quintets on historical instruments.
