Komponist & Pianist Leon Gurvitch im Porträtkonzert

Sun, May 5, 2024, 19:30
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Leon Gurvitch (Piano), Special Guest:, Hamburger Kammerballett
The pianist and composer Leon Gurvitch presents his new solo piano album »Musique Mélancolique« not only as the author, but also as the interpreter of his own compositions. This creates unique musical images that take the audience on an entertaining journey of reflection of a special kind. The Hamburg native has become an integral part of the Hanseatic city’s music scene and fascinates audiences with his versatile, emotionally charged musicality, wide stylistic range and technical virtuosity. His piano cycle »Musique Mélancolique«, which forms the centrepiece of the new album, conveys sadness about the ongoing state of war on the one hand and hope for a better, peaceful world on the other.

Amaryllis Quartett / Lena Eckels

Sat, Nov 23, 2024, 20:00
Laeiszhalle, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Gustav Frielinghaus (Violin), Lena Sandoz (Violin), Yves Sandoz (Cello), Mareike Hefti (Viola), Lena Eckels (Viola)
The Amaryllis Quartet celebrates its 20th anniversary and in its programme concept refers to Ludwig van Beethoven, one of the most important string quartet composers. At the same time, the new series of CD releases with works by Beethoven and classical modernism will be presented. What has been particularly important for the quartet in 20 years? Contemporary music. For this reason, the first performance of a commissioned composition is planned again. The programme will conclude with Johannes Brahms’ late work, the String Quintet in G major with two violas. A jubilant and exuberant work that seems detached from all earthly complaints. Lena Eckels, who was a member of the Amaryllis Quartet for ten years, will be playing the second viola again as a guest. There couldn’t be a more fitting line-up for the anniversary.

Arditti Quartet Marathon

Sat, May 11, 2024, 17:00
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Irvine Arditti (Violin), Ashot Sarkissjan (Violin), Ralf Ehlers (Viola), Lucas Fels (Cello)
The Arditti Quartet is the leading string quartet of the modern age. Its musicians have premiered more than 1,000 works since 1974 and collaborated with a number of legendary 20th- and 21st-century composers, including György Ligeti, Sofia Gubaidulina, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Iannis Xenakis and Pierre Boulez. In 2017, they were given the honour of being the first string quartet to perform in the Elbphilharmonie Recital Hall. The Arditti Quartet now returns to that concert hall to celebrate its 50th anniversary. In two 70-minute segments, the four musicians pack in the most exciting pieces the contemporary music scene has to offer: from the video-animated sounds of Olga Neuwirth and Elliott Carter’s challenging String Quartet No. 3 to the timbral experimentations of Rebecca Saunders, to whom the Elbphilharmonie is dedicating an extensive spotlight this season. In conversation, the musicians also share rare insights into their work and look back at an eventful half a century. A defining moment of contemporary music.

Unfortunately, Pepe Romero had to cancel his participation in the concert at short notice due to an acute case of illness in his family. Thankfully, MILOŠ has spontaneously agreed to stand in for him and take over the solo part in Joaquín Rodrigo’s »Concierto de Aranjuez«. The programme can therefore remain unchanged.
