Agate Quartet
Rising Stars is a unique and forward-looking collaboration between 24 of Europe’s leading concert halls, all members of the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO). A handful of young musicians and ensembles from various countries are selected each year and given the opportunity to tour the concert halls and perform before international audiences. Experience shows that those who are selected as Rising Stars also have internationally successful careers.The French Quatuor Agate took their name from Brahms's incredibly beautiful second string sextet, which he dedicated to one of his great loves, Agathe von Siebold (the other being Clara Schumann). The quartet has been awarded several prizes, including for the best performance of new music at the Banff International String Quartet Competition in Canada, and the audience prize at the Verbier Festival. Their recent debut album delves deeply into Brahms, featuring all three string quartets.On the program, they also include Joseph Haydn's quartet commonly known as "The Joke," referring to his first substitution of a minuet movement with a scherzo, Italian for a joke or jest. Between Haydn's classical quartet and Korngold's restless and energetically explosive third string quartet, Quatuor Agate presents a newly composed piece by the exciting Ukrainian singer, pianist, organist, conductor, and composer Anna Korsun.Rising Stars is a unique and forward-looking collaboration between 24 of Europe’s leading concert halls, all members of the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO).

Quatuor Agate

Fri, Jan 24, 2025, 19:30
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Adrien Jurkovic (Violin), Thomas Descamps (Violin), Raphaël Pagnon (Viola), Simon Iachemet (Cello)
At the Rising Stars Festival, the Elbphilharmonie Recital Hall again becomes the stage for the most exciting musicians of the young generation in January 2025. Amongst these stars of tomorrow is the Quatuor Agate, as the only ensemble. The string quartet formed in Berlin in 2016 and the musicians’ joint career long since assumed an international format. The Guardian enthuses about the Brahms debut album by the four Frenchmen: »Warm, wonderfully refined sound, impeccable intonation and punctilious attention to detail.« Under the heading »Outlaws«, the Quatuor Agate presents a well-thought out concept programme in Hamburg with String Quartet No. 8 by Dmitri Shostakovich at its heart. Under the impact of the tyranny of his Russian homeland, Shostakovich created a piece of bloodcurdling intensity in 1960 that he saw as his own musical obituary. Adrien Jurkovic, Thomas Descamps, Raphaël Pagnon and Simon Iachemet surround this confessional music with a broad-based programme combination which ranges from the Renaissance to the present day. Projections accompany the programme and shine a light on the life of the composers. With singing, the musicians rise far above their usual role as instrumentalists in the commissioned composition by Anna Korsun.

Rising Stars: Áron Horváth

Sun, Sep 28, 2025, 16:00
Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)
Áron Horváth (Zymbal), Zsombor Herédi (Accordion), Bence Babcsán (Holzblasinstrumente), Dávid Lakatos (Double bass)
Das Zymbal ist ein ziemlich exotisches Instrument, eine Art Hackbrett auf Füßen. Áron Horváth spielt es derart virtuos, dass er bereits mit zwölf Jahren nationale Berühmtheit erlangte. Dass »sein« Instrument tief verwurzelt ist in der Musik seiner ungarischen Heimat, zeigt er mit einem facettenreichen Programm.In diesem Programm darf Béla Bartók als einer der bedeutendsten ungarischen Komponisten natürlich nicht fehlen. In seinem Schaffen hat er sich intensiv mit der traditionellen ungarischen und rumänischen Volksmusik auseinandergesetzt und verwendet in einigen seiner Werke auch den besonderen Klang des Zymbal. Neben György Kurtág, der ebenfalls zu den prominentesten ungarischen Tonschöpfern gehört, sind außerdem ein neues Werk für Zymbal der ungarischen Jazzmusikerin Emma Nagy und Eigenkomposition des Rising Stars, der immer öfter auch als Komponist in Erscheinung tritt, zu erleben. ​»Rising Stars« ist ein Projekt der European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO). Áron Horváth wurde nominiert von Müpa Budapest und Philharmonie Luxembourg.

Rising Stars: Giorgi Gigashvili

Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 16:00
Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)
Giorgi Gigashvili (Piano)
Fast wäre Giorgi Gigashvili Popsänger geworden, denn mit 13 Jahren gewann er die georgische Ausgabe der Castingshow »The Voice«. Doch dem Klavier blieb er trotzdem treu, zum Glück. Als er ein paar Jahre später einen Klavierwettbewerb mit Martha Argerich als Juryvorsitzender gewann, waren die Weichen endgültig gestellt.Nach dem Studium am staatlichen Konservatorium in seiner Geburtsstadt Tbilisi wechselte er 2023 zu Kirill Gerstein an die Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler in Berlin. Für sein Konzert hat Giorgi Gigashvili ein Programm zusammengestellt, dass an seine Herkunft aus Osteuropa erinnert. Neben den Stücken dreier zentraler russischer Komponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts spielt er ein Auftragswerk von Natalie Beridze, die auch aus Tbilisi stammt und von 2002 bis 2008 in Köln gelebt hat. ​»Rising Stars« ist ein Projekt der European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO). Giorgi Gigashvili wurde nominiert von Kölner Philharmonie, Konzerthaus Dortmund, Philharmonie Luxembourg und NOSPR Katowice.
