Although the Advent season is always peaceful in theory, in reality it is unfortunately often quite stressful - especially when a CD and video production is also due between concerts in Aschaffenburg, Lippstadt, Weikersheim, Munich, Bad Homburg, Flörsheim, Berlin, Frankfurt and Erbach. Normally, this is a very tedious and complicated task - but this time it was an absolute pleasure in the legendary Teldex Studio Berlin with its ideal acoustics and perfect external conditions: the recording of Jean Sibelius' Piano Quintet with the fabulous pianist Annika Treutler, which will be released next year, is certainly something to look forward to! 

In Munich, the Aris Quartet also had the great pleasure of performing together with Omer Klein in the brand new “Kulturkraftwerk” Bergson - the former thermal power station boasts spectacular architecture and is currently an absolute insider tip! After the final hometown concert at the Alte Oper Frankfurt in December, the musicians are now taking a well-deserved winter break with their families - we wish you a wonderful Advent season, relaxing holidays and a happy new year! Start the new year with good music - and experience the Aris Quartet live on January 06th 2025 in the Great Hall of the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg!!!

New season, new (musical) fortune: the Aris Quartet is well rested for the start of autumn and a brand new season with exciting projects, fascinating tours and a delightful program!

The season kicked off with a double concert on September 3rd and 4th at the “vielsaitig” festival in Füssen. Exceptional musician and jazz pianist Omer Klein also took part: their joint program “Shake it” combines classical music and jazz in a fascinating way - including exclusive new compositions and arrangements by Omer Klein!

The musicians could then be experienced in an unusual line-up at the Beethovenfest Bonn: together with pianist Fabian Müller and ensemble friends, the Aris Quartet founded a brand new chamber orchestra last year, the “Trinity Sinfonia”, which shone this time with Beethoven symphonies in Bonn and Weikersheim (19.+21.09.) - not only a musical delight, but also a joyful change in the quartet's everyday life!

Tradition was then the focus in October: there was a concert highlight at the venerable Schubertiade on October 5 with the magnificent William Youn at the piano - a music festival that should be an absolute must for every classical music lover!

In the "sacred halls"" of the Beethovenhaus Bonn, there was a special debut on 11.10., this time with a pure quartet line-up, which captivated with "quartet art at the very highest level... and a finely balanced ensemble sound”. (Generalanzeiger Bonn)

The festival "Gegen den Strom" on October 12th in the opulent Marmorsaal Bad Ems marked the sonorous conclusion of the concert phase - it can and should go on like this! See you soon and best musical regards!
