Signum Quartett Schubert in Soweto

Schulkonzert Signum Quartett

„Bridge the chasms that divide“ – mit einem Projekt unter diesem Titel widmet sich das Signum Quartett mit ihrem aus Südafrika stammenden Bratschisten Xandi Van Dijk dem Ende der Apartheit dort vor 30 Jahren. Trennende Gräben zu überwinden, diese Mission klingt vermutlich auch in den Ohren vieler junger Menschen vertraut; so ließe sie sich ohne weiteres auch auf aktuelle Situationen in unserem Zusammenleben anwenden. Über Fragen von Demokratie und Freiheit möchte das Signum Quartett deshalb in seinem Konzert für Schulklassen mit Jugendlichen ins Gespräch kommen. Es erklingen unter anderem Werke junger südafrikanischer Komponist*innen, die eigens für das Projekt erschaffen wurden.Für Schulklassen der Stufen 9-135 € für Schüler*innen, bis zu 4 Begleitpersonen pro Klasse kostenlosAnmeldung bei Franziska Spohr unter f.spohr@heidelberger-fruehling.de

vision string quartet Quartett Reloaded

The vision string quartet masterfully blends classical fidelity with experimental band energy. Their fresh approach to string quartet masterpieces has propelled them to international acclaim. Their "Vision" also includes broadening their stylistic horizons, integrating pop, jazz, and original compositions. Schostakovich's eighth quartet harmoniously coexists with the quartet's own works from their album "Spectrum".

Veronika Eberle and friends Schubert-Oktett

String quartets thrive on the homogeneity of the ensemble, achieved through long-term collaboration. Larger ensembles, however, mostly benefit from the confrontation of strong individuals, whose temperaments can unfold within a carefully crafted interpretation. When seven outstanding young soloists gather around the violinist Veronika Eberle to perform Franz Schubert's magnificent Octet, precisely this potentiation of creative energies is to be expected. Far more concise than Schubert's work, with which he famously wanted to "pave the way to the great symphony" in 1824, is the Octet by the young composer Gregor Mayrhofer - an equally poetic and masterful new edition of the mixed octet of strings and winds. Following the concert there will be an artist talk with Anselm Cybinski at the festival center.

Musical Sunday Schubert: Streichquintett C-Dur

If Schubert had foreseen his imminent death, the string quintet, composed two months before his passing, with its heavenly melodies of "liberated time", would have been his personal farewell work. This event explores the work and the circumstances of its creation. Author Marcus Imbsweiler and composer/violinist Timo Jouko Herrmann will delve into the subject. Schubert's String Quintet in C Major will be performed on Thursday, April 3, 2025, at 5 pm by Cuarteto Casals.

Alinde Quartett

The Alinde Quartet, a captivating young chamber music ensemble, is embarking on a project centered around Franz Schubert, who inspired their name from a poem he set to music. Their #Schubert200 project, commemorating the composer's 200th death anniversary, includes recording all his quartets and other chamber works, alongside commissioning new pieces inspired by "Alinde." This project is supported by the Althafen Foundation.

HAGEN QUARTETT

While writing his first two string quartets, Johannes Brahms struggled under the shadow of Beethoven, whose overwhelming influence he felt for decades. His Third Quartet of 1876 is audibly indebted to another composer: the light touch and musical wit of Joseph Haydn are present throughout the score. The Hagen Quartett’s program creates an intergenerational dialogue between the two composers.
