Gregor Huebner News
Dear Friends,

I recorded 5 solo piano pieces and created an EP called, “Musical Stories from the NY Slowdown.” You can purchase the album or individual tracks on Bandcamp. I added a bunch of new tracks and albums to Bandcamp. On Friday, May 1, they are not charging artists, so Friday is a perfect day to purchase my music.

Also on Friday, May 1 at 7 pm ET, Watch the Premiere of the Music Video for Hilary Tann’s “And The Snow Did Lie.” The arty video features Sirius Quartet, plus the lithographs by André Bergeron that inspired the piece.

On Sunday, May 3 at 5pm ET join me for Speedwell Live, a real-time conversation with Maine writer Bill Roorbach. I’ll play music and discuss my current projects. Sign up to receive the Zoom link and password by email on the day of event.

Lastly, violinist Fung Chern Hwei and I teamed up to create a violin duo, Orthrus. Our very first single, “Escape From Reality”, will be on Bandcamp.

STAY SAFE AND STAY WELL,
Gregor

Gregor Huebner News
Dear Friends,

I hope you all are well and in a safe place. Many things have happened since my last news update. I am in New York City with my family, practicing the violin and trying to compose almost like when I was studying music.

I am working remotely with my composition students in Munich.
 
On Thursday, April 23 Berta Epple will be on SWR 1 TV show Kabarett, Comedy und Kleinkunst at 20-24:00. Berta Epple will be streaming from home.

All of my live shows are on hold. During this down time I am composing, practicing and recording some new pieces.

I always wanted to record some of my songs I composed over the years on solo piano. These times and all the talk about social distancing gave me the idea of doing these recordings now.

The first composition I recorded is called “Cape of Good Hope.” Enjoy listening to it, and SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel to keep up-to-date on my music.

I also have 2 new CDs coming out in the fall, and you can preview a track from each album on Soundcloud. 
 
Berta Epple im Casino – Die Rente ist sicher (the Pension is Secure)
Title: Rentenbescheid
The title track, Rentenbecheid (pension statement), calls for universal basic income, which is timely during these uncertain times.
 
The other album is Pelicula by Gerd Baumann/Gregor Huebner Duo. You can preview the first track Octavio.

You can also show your support by listening and purchasing my music on Bandcamp.

Be well,
Gregor

New Album from Hilary Tann
And the snow did lie
Ten Images for String Quartet Based on André Bergeron’s Lithographs
Performed by Sirius Quartet

Listen to a track from the new album.

New from Navona Records comes AND THE SNOW DID LIE, composed by Hilary Tann and performed by Sirius Quartet. Tann, a Welsh-born composer living in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains was inspired to write this commissioned work by a series of illustrations from the classic French-Canadian novel, Le Survenant. These images are included with the release of this digital single.

The music of AND THE SNOW DID LIE is broken into three movements, each depicting a season in the bleak northern landscape. Each of these is further broken into distinct sections. The first movement evokes the wasteland of late autumn with an murmuring drone pierced by the shrill voice of decay. The music develops to demonstrate both moments of startling intensity and deep tenderness. The second movement imagines the gentle snowfall of winter. Here, especially, the Sirius Quartet exhibits their sensitivity to the silences between the notes. Finally, the work concludes with a third movement that conjures up the floods of springtime with shivering tremolos, lyrical lines, and echoes of the previous textures.

AND THE SNOW DID LIE is a multimedia artwork to be appreciated by both the eyes and the ears. The powerful combination of Tann’s expressive lyricism paired with Bergeron’s master-lithography performed by the formidable skill and precision of the Sirius Quartet make this new digital single an event not to be missed.

Release Date: April 24, 2020
Catalog #: NV6280
Format: Physical & Digital

212 East 52nd St. 3rd Floor New York City

The year 2020 marks the 10th year of the current lineup of Sirius Quartet, which founding member Ron Lawrence named “Our best lineup so far”. The four musicians brought in individual styles of playing, writing and improvisation into the group and created their very own brand of inimitable music —- an extension of progressive chamber music started by the likes of the great Turtle Island Quartet and Kronos Quartet. To celebrate this milestone, Sirius is organizing a series of performances in New York City, presenting their past repertoire in chronological order. This performance in Club Bonafide will be the first performance of this series, repertoire will include Gregor Huebner’s String Quartet No.3 (“New York Suite”), among other signature Sirius Quartet pieces.

Happy New Year!
I hope you had a great start to 2020. I’m very excited about all the projects, recordings and performances slated for this year.
Berta Epple is touring this spring with Berta Epple die Rente ist sicher. It was an honor to win the state prize Kleinkunstpreis Baden Württemberg, and it is great to perform for enthusiastic audiences.

2020 is the 10th year of the current lineup of Sirius Quartet. To celebrate this milestone, Sirius is organizing a series of performances in New York City, presenting their past repertoire in chronological order. The first performance is at Club Bonafide on March 13, 2020.

2020 is the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven. Together with Uri Cain, I created a video and took part in the Beethoven Pastorale Project. Artists from all around the world were invited to make a cultural statement for environmental protection. I am also commissioned to write a new piece for Sirius Quartet and Richie Beirach based on Beethovens music. It will premiere at the Jazz Festival in Bonn in May.

2020 upcoming highlights:
Sirius Quartet at Carnegie Hall and Wigmore Hall in London
Some exciting concerts in Russia in June
El Violin Latino at the Parrish Museum in Long Island
MCC (Munich Composers Collective) Residency at Milla Club in Munich, we will perform several concerts throughout the year.

It would be really great to see you at one of these performances!

Gregor Huebner News
Greetings from Germany!

After a very successful Festival in New York City, Sirius Quartet is excited about the 2nd Annual Progressive Chamber Music Festival in Munich Wednesday, Nov 6 and Thursday, Nov 7, 2019.

The festival features a diverse array of absolutely killer artists who blur genre-lines and embrace cross-pollination as an absolute essential ingredient in the creation of forward-thinking music and art.

Sirius Quartet performs on the 1st night with Gerd Baumann’s band Parade and on the 2nd night with the fantastic harpist Evelyn Huber. Then we will continue to tour with her throughout November.

Also, on the first day of the festival, the PentAnemos Bläserquintett is premiering my piece “Independence in Unity.”
 
It would be great to see you at one of our concerts.

Regards,
Gregor

Dear Friends,
 

This was an exciting spring with the release of two new CDs, followed by great reviews and then two amazing tours with El Violin Latino and Sirius Quartet.

In the next few weeks school will end in Munich and the festival season will begin. First in Blaine near Seattle, then Paris with Sirius Quartet and finally, just like every year with my brother, the annual Einhalden Festival where Sirius Quartet meets Malia.

August will be quiet and I will have some time to write new music. Then the pace picks up in September with a lot of great concerts in the US.

Richie Beirach – Gregor Huebner Duo and The WDR Big Band (Rich DeRosa, Conductor) has been well received. Here are two rave reviews from Jonathan Widran for The JW Vibe  and Dick Metcalf for Contemporary Fusion Reviews.

Regards,
Gregor

Gregor Huebner News

Greetings! I wish you all a wonderful time during the holidays and a fantastic New Year.

I am performing with Berta Epple during the holidays and on New Year’s Eve. Join us for a really amazing evening of fun and uplifting music.

In the new year I am really looking forward to releasing El Violin Latino Vol 3, – Los Soñadores on January 25, 2019 in Europe and Asia on the label GLM. On February 8, 2019 it will be released in the US, South America, and Canada by Zoho.

I was honored to be mentioned in an article in the Neue Züricher Zeitung about how strings are now front and center in Jazz. Die Streicher waren im Jazz einst Aussenseiter. Heute sind sie oft Grenzgänger

Warmly,
Gregor and Family

The video of Los Soñadores/Dreamers premiered on May 4, 2018 is getting more important each and every day in our world, that’s why I send it to you again to share it with all your friends. The video has been viewed on Facebook nearly 10k times. Facebook is no longer allowing us to boost it, they say it’s a Political Message. Initially they allowed us to boost it, and the song was incredibly popular in the U.S., Central and South America. Now we need to spread the word about this video even further. Please help us, WATCH & SHARE on YouTube or Facebook.

Friends,

It has been an exciting and busy month full of energy and new ideas. I’ve been performing and teaching in Germany. Sirius Quarted produced the inaugural Progressive Chamber Music Festival in Munich where Sirius Quartet collaborated with the amazing soprano Marlis Petersen. Read a rave review of the festival in Süddeutsche Zeitung. Then we set sail as on the MS Europa 2 cruise ship from the Canary Islands to Capetown, South Africa which was an incredible experience. On the ship we performed again with Marlis on a swanky stage and our performance became more and more exciting. In South Africa we performed at the outstanding Norval Foundation, an arts center and sculpture park (check out some pictures). I returned to New York City just in time to VOTE and then spent the next day in DC performing with El Violin Latino at the Luxembourg Embassy for the DC Jazz Festival.

This weekend Sirius Quartet Presents the Progressive Chamber Music Festival at Spectrum in Brooklyn on Saturday, November 10 & Sunday, November 11, 2018.
The lineup includes
Sirius Quartet
David Krakauer and Kathleen Tagg: Breath and Hammer
Erik Friedlander
String Noise
Richard Sussman
Rob Mosher’s Brooklynburg
Here’s the link for tickets.

Regards,
Gregor
