International Mendelssohn Festival 2024

Mon, Sep 16, 2024, 19:30

Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)

Ralph Evans (Violin), Efim Boico (Violin), Gil Sharon (Viola), Niklas Schmidt (Cello), Cyprien Katsaris (Piano)

The great opera composer Giuseppe Verdi, who opens this concert evening, called his only string quartet »a gimmick«. Legend has it that he composed his quartet purely as a pastime, as rehearsals for performances of his »Aida« in Naples had come to a standstill. As so often, Verdi was understating the case. The French-Cypriot pianist Cyprien Katsaris continues the gimmick with a spontaneous improvisation on Verdi’s operatic themes. In the rest of the programme, Katsaris plays romances, songs and fantasies by Robert Schumann, Felix Mendelssohn and Franz Liszt. Cyprien Katsaris is a piano virtuoso with a very special affinity for Liszt and has contributed greatly to a new view of Liszt’s piano works throughout his life. In 2023, he received the Franz Liszt Prize of Honour, awarded by the Klassik Stiftung Weimar and the Neue Liszt Stiftung.

Florian Heinisch / Klavierabend

Sun, Jun 16, 2024, 19:30

Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)

Florian Heinisch (Piano)

With this recital, Hamburg pianist Florian Heinisch returns to the Elbphilharmonie once again after acclaimed concerts in 2019 and 2023. The programme is a tribute to the enormous stylistic diversity that has made the musical city of Hamburg a unique force in the world of classical music to this day. »I may have been born in Liverpool, but I grew up in Hamburg« – this statement by John Lennon about his beginnings with the Beatles in the Hanseatic city also fits many biographies and careers in classical music.
