Finding coherence in the complex – that is the Simply Quartet's recipe for success. After winning several international competitions, including the Carl Nielsen Competition in Copenhagen and the Joseph Haydn Chamber Music Competition in Vienna, the young ensemble is one of the rising stars of the quartet scene. For their debut in our quartet series, the four musicians will perform classics of the genre such as Mozart's “Hunting Quartet” and Grieg's Opus 27, as well as Wynton Marsalis’ jazzy Creole Contradanzas and American composer Rebecca Clarke’s thought-provoking Poem.

Simply Quartet
Internationalität ist Trumpf: Gegründet in China, ausgebildet unter anderem in Madrid, beheimatet in Wien – kein Wunder, dass das Simply Quartet immer große Ziele verfolgt. Als ehemalige »ECHO Rising Stars« kehrt das Ensemble nun nach Köln zurück.Die Mitglieder des Simply Quartet sind stets auf der Suche und möchten das Verständnis für Musik immer wieder neu vertiefen, ob bei klassischen oder bei modernen Werken. Dient »Simply« dabei als Beschreibung ihres gemeinsamen Weges? Mitnichten: »In Schanghai gab es nahe des Konservatoriums ein Restaurant namens ‚Simply Thai‘. Das hat uns allen gefallen.« Das Simply Quartet schöpft aus Einflüssen, die das Miteinander bis heute prägen. Dazu zählt neben China und Österreich auch Norwegen, das Heimatland des Cellisten.

Schumann Quartet plays Mozart, Beethoven and Prokofiev

Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)
Schumann Quartett (String Quartet), Erik Schumann (Violin), Ken Schumann (Violin), Veit Hertenstein (Viola), Mark Schumann (Cello), Susanne Stähr (Referentin)
From a young age, the brothers Erik, Ken and Mark Schumann were deeply absorbed by the subtleties of chamber music. Then, when they were joined by violist Veit Hertenstein, the Schumann Quartet launched an international career, garnering the highest praise for their “dazzling virtuosity” (Süddeutsche Zeitung). For their debut in our series, the quartet has chosen Mozart’s galant A major Quartet and the dark First Quartet by Prokofiev, influenced by Beethoven’s quartets. These will also be represented by the Op. 127 quartet, from Beethoven’s audacious late period.

Saxophonist and composer Branford Marsalis has been a fixture in jazz for decades. He is also a sought-after classical soloist with acclaimed orchestras around the world and his legendary guest performances with the Grateful Dead and collaborations with Sting have made him a fan favorite in the pop arena. The Branford Marsalis Quartet, formed in 1986, has established a rare breadth of stylistic range and is revered for its uncompromising interpretation of both original compositions and jazz and popular classics. The Quartet is now joined by 7 excellent Hungarian musicians to perform songs based on Hungarian Folk Music. Marsalis knew he was not interested in simply adding »jazz« chords to folk songs noting that »the chords, the harmonies are perfect as they are. They have just the right emotional impact.« The project was commissioned by Müpa and first premiered in Budapest, where it was immediately praised as a success.
