Once overshadowed by the violin and cello, the viola is now experiencing a resurgence, thanks to artists like Sào Soulez Larivière. His captivating program showcases the viola's unique melancholic, smoky, and at times elegant sound. Larivière performs Igor Stravinsky's "Elégie," Rebecca Saunders' "Hauch," and a new piece commissioned by Julia Wolfe, demonstrating his commitment to expanding the viola's repertoire.

Experience the most exciting young personalities of the classical music world for a whole week – the Rising Stars Festival makes this possible. Chosen from the most famous concert halls in Europe, six excellent young musicians use the Elbphilharmonie Recital Hall to give the Hamburg audience sonic samples of their star potential. The festival kicks off with the Franco-Dutch violist Sào Soulez Larivière, whom the Elbphilharmonie itself nominated as its personal Rising Star for the 2024/25 season and who was already a guest in the »Teatime Classics« series. Larivière builds his programme around an equally rare and fascinating combination: the sonorous sound of the viola impacts on the kaleidoscope of sound of the percussion. The violist gets support from drummer and former Rising Star Christoph Sietzen – and this extraordinary line-up naturally does not offer standard repertoire, but a programme selection full of surprises and discoveries, which Larivière presents as a young artist with an open mind and mature personality.
