Javus Quartett

Javus Quartet has been nominated by Wiener Konzerthaus, Musikverein Wien and Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. The quartet was founded in Salzburg in 2016 and is now based in Vienna. It consists of violinists Marie-Therese Schwöllinger and Alexandra Moser, violist Marvin Stark and cellist Oscar Hagen. In recent years, Javus Quartet has received several awards.

We hear music by Haydn – one of the master of the quartet’s final completed works, in which a lifetime of experience is combined with an undiminished creative energy. By the Mendelssohn siblings, we hear Fanny’s original and highly personal Quartet in E flat major, and by Felix perhaps his most restless and intense work – composed in deep grief following his sister’s death.

ECHO Rising Stars is a unique and forward-looking collaboration between 23 of Europe’s leading concert halls within ECHO – the European Concert Hall Organisation. Each year, a select group of young artists and ensembles from different countries is chosen and given the opportunity to tour the concert halls and meet an international audience. Experience shows that those selected as Rising Stars go on to enjoy successful international careers.
