"The Magic of Harp"
To hear Evelyn Huber on solo harp is an unforgettable experience in sound, passionate and fiery, meditative and ethereal at the same time. Inspired by tango, jazz, expressionism and the Latin American joie de vivre, she has developed a unique music style all her own, carried by her sunny temperament and dedication to her music.
The recipient of the Bavarian Culture Prize and two-time winner of the Echo (with Quadro Nuevo) jams, hums, buzzes, whistles and swings on the harp, effortlessly allowing it to resonate with exquisitely woven melodies at a stunning pace. Flirtatious at times, it then seduces us with the most tender and angelic of strings. With charm, technical perfection and boundless enthusiasm, Evelyn Huber draws an unprecedented range of soundscapes from this wonderful instrument.
Biography
Evelyn Huber studied harp with Helga Storck, graduating with a Master’s degree from the “Hochschule für Musik und Theater” in Munich where she subsequently taught harp from 1998 to 2009. In 2007 she was appointed visiting professor at the Guildhall School of Music in London.
Evelyn began early on to cross conventional musical boundaries, continuing to sound out the possibilities presented by the grand concert harp. Jazz workshops in the United States, concert activities with various ensembles around the world as well as her solo performances have made her a virtuoso in the genres of jazz and world music.

Evelyn Huber - harp
Gustavo Strauss - violin
Jakob Lakner - bass clarinet & clarinet
The trio refreshingly brings together three dynamic exceptional musicians who have made it their mission to explore the boundaries between jazz, tango and klezmer in a new chamber music way.
Minimalist in groove, this trio meanders through unheard landscapes that may seem thoroughly familiar to listeners and at the same time, as if in flow, allow for new perspectives in an entirely different light.
Featuring Evelyn Huber on harp (formerly of Quadro Nuevo), Gustavo Strauss on violin (Paranormal String Quartet) and Jakob Lakner on clarinet and bass clarinet (Yxalag Klezmerband).

Evelyn Huber & Sirius Quartet (New York)
World music, minimal, jazz & impressionistic for Harp and String Quartet
Evelyn Huber - Harp
Fung Chern Hwei - Violin
Gregor Hübner - Violin
Sunjay Jayaram - Viola
Jeremy Harman - Cello
The stars of contemporary music meet the Bavarian Culture Prize recipient and two-time ECHO winner. Together, they span the arc between the new and the old world in their own very unique way. The Sirius Quartet sees itself as a classical string quartet breaking new ground with improvisation and jazz, a parallel to the equally classically trained harpist Evelyn Huber, who is just as much at home in improvisation as she is in world music.
Their playing is precise, transparent and at the same time ethereal, surprising. "...every breakout solo seemed as inevitable as it was spontaneous..." The Wall Street Journal said of the Sirius Quartet, which always brings echoes of Europe with it. Together with Evelyn Huber, who in turn has long found musical inspiration in the United States, the styles intertwine to form an unusual and wonderful blend of sounds.
It is their shared roots in classical music that all five naturally and playfully develop and enrich with jazz and improvisation.
The program includes atmospheric original compositions influenced by jazz and electrifying world music as well as impressionistic and tangoesque gems. The music flies euphorically jnto a completely new corner, surprising, delighting and carrying the listener along. It is a dance without movement, an mediation bursting with energy.

Evelyn Huber (Harp) & Sven Faller (Double Bass)
Harp and Double Bass,
on the surface a duo like from "Beauty and the Beast". Heavenly-tender sound of spheres meets dark-mysterious night music.
But Evelyn Huber and Sven Faller break these clichés just as they love to play with them.
The double bass sometimes angelically strokes lyrical melodies while the harp powerfully beats the earthy groove.
Stylistically, too, the duo crosses all borders and blithely mixes borrowings from everything that moves their hearts. Classical impressionism, jazz, pop, folklore from Ireland to the Balkans and Latin American music from Tango to Samba melt into a heady cocktail under their joyful fingers.
It is astonishing what unexpected timbres the two virtuosos elicit from their instruments.
At times you think you have a whole orchestra in front of you.
A special sound journey that is as fiery as it is atmospheric and meditative.
