Rising Stars: Javus Quartet

In the Rising Stars series, the stars of the future present themselves with personal and idiosyncratically compiled programmes. The Austrian Javus Quartet juxtaposes two of the most powerful personalities of twentieth-century modernism: Grażyna Bacewicz and Dmitri Shostakovich. They also play a brand new work by Oscar Jockel.

Programme

• String Quartet No. 3
• new composition (Commissioned by Konzerthaus Wien, Musikverein Wien, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, ECHO)
