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.

The extraordinary mastery of the harp with which she became known around the world has now been brought to the music of Quadro Nuevo, of which she was a member from 2008 to 2020. In 2010 and 2011, the ensemble was presented with the German Music Award in the category “Live Act of the Year”.

Evelyn Huber has also been the recipient of a number of prestigious awards including the Bavarian Cultural Award and has been presented with the Jazz Award of the German Phonographic Industry a number of times.

Numerous CD recordings with a wide variety of musical combos are evidence of the vast scope of Evelyn Huber’s unique artistry on the harp.

Fiery rhythms - Impressionistic Soundscapes - World Chamber Music for Harp & String Quartet

Evelyn Huber - Harp
Fung Chern Hwei - Violin
Gregor Hübner - Violin
Ron Lawrence - 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.

Christopher Herrmann - Cello
Evelyn Huber - Harp

Outwardly fragile, inwardly powerfully pulsating, but always warming chamber jazz, which oscillates between the silence of the two musicians' own compositions and their instruments harp and cello and storytelling tonal force.

Christopher Herrmann - Cello
The exceptional cellist creates a wide variety of musical landscapes on baroque, modern and electric cello. In addition to classical music and his interest in modern music, his curiosity for music from other cultures inspired him to develop his own musical language. He always puts the cello in new, unfamiliar contexts and develops special playing techniques especially for this. In addition to compositions for solo cello, he also writes works for large ensembles and gives concerts as a multi-instrumentalist on guitar, piano, erhu, sarod, etc.

Evelyn Huber: Harp
Matthias Frey: Grand Piano
Christopher Herrmann: Cello

Music for the inner cinema - an exciting musical journey!
Four acoustic instruments - four very different musical personalities, inspiring each other with their unconventional ways of playing. A special chamber music, evoking powerfully subtle dreamlike images. In creative dialogue, listening, together. Silence & fire. An evening of musical sensuality.
