Venue

Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)

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.

Schumann Quartet plays Mozart, Beethoven and Prokofiev

Fri, Apr 26, 2024, 20:00

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.

Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)

Leonkoro Quartet (String Quartet), Jonathan Schwarz (Violin), Amelie Wallner (Violin), Mayu Konoe (Viola), Lukas Schwarz (Cello)

The Leonkoro Quartet has enjoyed a meteoric rise to success. Founded in 2019, the ensemble is already at home on international concert stages, making its celebrated Philharmonie debut in February 2024. “The Leonkoro Quartet’s risk-conscious power of intensity is legendary. Its virtuosity is unbelievably natural,” wrote the Tagesspiegel afterwards. The young musicians return this season – with an energetic string quartet by our composer in residence Wolfgang Rihm, who died in July of this year, a wonderfully melodic opus by Felix Mendelssohn, and a key work from Beethoven’ s late oeuvre.

Hagen Quartet (String Quartet), Lukas Hagen (Violin), Rainer Schmidt (Violin), Veronika Hagen (Viola), Clemens Hagen (Cello)

They have been making music together for over 40 years: as the Hagen Quartet, the three siblings Lukas, Veronika and Clemens Hagen with violinist Rainer Schmidt have reached the top of their field with their unerring sense of style, beauty of tone and potent expressiveness. Viennese Classicism has always been a major focus of the Salzburg-based ensemble. In this concert, we will hear two late quartets by Haydn and Beethoven which bear witness to both composers’ inexhaustible invention and innovative boldness. Maurice Ravel’s elegant, poignant quartet shows the genre from a French perspective.

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Chamber Hall (Katowice)

Jake Arditti (Counter-tenor), Arditti Quartet

The Arditti Quartet is a chamber music legend. Half a century ago, the violinist Irvine Arditti invited three friends of his, students at London’s Royal Academy of Music, to perform Krzysztof Penderecki’s String quartet No. 2 together. Since then, the ensemble has premiered hundreds of contemporary pieces, released over 200 albums and traveled all the world with new music. The Arditti Quartet will perform a 20th-century masterpiece by Witold Lutosławski, music by Lucia Dlugoszewski, an American composer with Polish roots who is still little known here, and a piece by James Dillon, the quartet’s collaborator since the 80s.
