"Brilliant Siblings": Release Deutsche Grammophon
Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn are probably the most amazing siblings in music history. They were not only close as people, but also complemented each other musically, inspiring and helping each other - their common musical language is obvious.
While Felix celebrated great success, Fanny - as a woman in the 19th century - was denied a comparable career: one more reason to celebrate the brilliant siblings equally today!
The Aris Quartet pays tribute to the uniqueness of the siblings in its latest releases for Deutsche Grammophon. The E-single Op. 102, Presto will be released on April 11th 2025.
Aris in January: "Of Brahms festivals and burst water pipes"
Here we go: the first concert of the new year took place on January 6th in the great hall of the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg.
A special honor - an extensive Brahms festival was celebrated with great music and fantastic chamber music partners: Liisa Randalu, Stefan Heinemeyer and Thorsten Johanns!
Other prestigious venues in January included the Mercatorhalle in Duisburg and the Krönungssaal in Aachen - while in Bad Säckingen, on the other hand, a curious situation had to be overcome: due to a burst water pipe in the Kursaal, the concert had to be canceled at short notice, but don't worry: an alternative date on May 4th has already been found.
An enriching start to the new year and the musicians are now looking forward to March: a new tour of the USA is just around the corner, including stops in Illinois, California and Arizona!
