Noa Wildschut / Elisabeth Brauß

• Classical Music

With violinist Noa Wildschut and pianist Elisabeth Brauß, two of the best musicians of their generation return to the Elbphilharmonie. As the youngest scholarship holder of the Anne-Sophie Mutter Foundation, Noa Wildschut has already played with world-renowned orchestras, such as the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and Cologne’s Gürzenich Orchester. And Elisabeth Brauß was on the keys as a former member of the BBC New Generation Artist Scheme with orchestras such as the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and the hr-Sinfonieorchester.

They both know each other well and get together regularly for joint chamber music evenings despite their busy schedules. In 2020, you could experience them at the »Rising Stars« Festival at the Elbphilharmonie; now, they return to the Recital Hall in the Fast Lane series. With Clara Schumann’s Three Romances and Johannes Brahms’ Sonata in G major, they perform two of the most romantic pieces of all for violin and piano. After the sophisticated sounds of George Enescu’s Violin Sonata No. 3, they top off their programme with an entertaining showpiece by American pianist and composer Paul Schoenfield, which transforms the concert hall into a dancehall with a lively samba, a raunchy tango, a swinging Tin Pan Alley and an energetic square dance.
