Gregor Huebner News

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!

Regards,
Gregor

Sirius Quartet “Our First Decade”

Friday, March 13, 2020 – 10pm
Club Bonafide – Click for Tickets
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.

Sirius Quartet is

Fung Chern Hwei, violin

Gregor Huebner, violin

Ron Lawrence, viola

Jeremy Harman, violoncello
