»Young, cool and brilliant: This is the string quartet of the future« (Sydney Morning Herald): the Vision String Quartet has generated enthusiasm worldwide for years – also because it is so unlike other string quartets. The four young musicians from Berlin, who also see themselves as a band, enjoy experimenting with concert formats and not only play classical works, but also their own pieces in which they dive into many musical worlds, from folk, pop and rock to minimal music. With exactly the same, varied programme of classical quartet works, poppy pieces (and perhaps one or two surprises), they now make a guest appearance at the Elbphilharmonie.

Mikkel ends up in one unexpected and awkward situation after another, when the employees one by one slowly open the bag with their deepest and juiciest secrets.

The cimbalom is a true chameleon: Like only the piano, the Hungarian dulcimer feels at home in all genres and styles. And so does Áron Horváth, who, as the European Concert Hall Organization's "Rising Star," tours the continent's major concert halls. With his World Music Quartet, the young cimbalom virtuoso will explore jazz and folk music from Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria at the Elbphilharmonie.

Áron Horváth, Cimbalom

Feel the magic of music when masterpieces by Brahms, Klughardt and Schuller come together in a concert with rich harmonies, emotional sounds and the tonal language of jazz. 

Brahms has composed some of the most beloved chamber music, loved by both musicians and listeners, and the music both fascinates and inspires constantly. It is music in a romantic tone language full of emotions and rich sounds and at the same time built up with a clear structure. Brahms lived most of his life in Vienna, but had roots in Hamburg – and perhaps that is precisely why his music also carries a fundamental tone of Nordic weight and reflection.
