Sirius Quartet meets Tetra Brass

In the organizer's words:

Sirius Quartett meets Tetra Brass

Two quartets that could hardly be more different: The Sirius Quartet from New York stands for contemporary string avant-garde with jazz roots, Tetra Brass from Munich for brilliant chamber music on brass. But together they form a sound collective that pushes musical boundaries with tremendous energy.

What began in 2019 with an initial collaboration is now being continued. Under the title "Henry Reloaded", a selection of new compositions can be heard - tailored to the personalities of the musicians.

The result: a stylistic fusion of classical music, jazz, film music and free improvisation - live, unamplified and experienced in close proximity to the audience.

A concert evening of a special kind - powerful, bold and full of nuances.

Sirius Quartet

"Versatility and flair with lively improvisations... Driving rhythms and aggressive arpeggios were woven around an elusive cello melody in this captivating score." - The New York Times

Internationally acclaimed veterans of contemporary music, the Sirius Quartet combines a stirring repertoire with unparalleled improvisational fire. These conservatory-trained performers and composers radiate with precision, soul and a raw energy rarely seen on stage, championing a forward-thinking, genre-busting approach that makes terms like 'new music' seem tame.
