ABOUT THE EVENT

The Zürcher Ballett has been invited by the Salzburg Festival to perform Heinz Spoerli's Choreographies this summer. The world class company will be accompanied by the renowned Hagen Quartett.

Since its founding in 1920, the Salzburg Festival has established itself as the most important festival for opera, drama and concerts. The Salzburg Festival presents performances of opera, theatre and concerts of the highest artistic standards over a period of five to six weeks each summer. Conductors, stage-directors, orchestras, singers, actors and virtuoso instrumentalists of world renown can be seen and heard in July and August in the town on the river Salzach.

Even the most eminent opera stars come together here to rehearse productions intensively for several weeks, thereby fulfilling the creed of the Salzburg Festival as it was originally envisioned by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, one of the Festival’s founding fathers: “Dramatic play-acting in the strongest sense is our intention; routine, run-of-the-mill performances have no place here.”

Artists of Zürcher Ballett & Hagen Quartett: Salzburg Festival

Hagen Quartett

, Quartet
The Hagen Quartet is made up of three members of one Salzburg family - Lukas,
Veronika and Clemens Hagen - and the German violinist Rainer Schmidt, who joined
the quartet in autumn 1987, replacing Annette Bik. The three Hagens studied at
the Salzburg Mozarteum: Veronika and Lukas were students of Helmut Zehetmair;
Clemens's teacher was Wilfried Tachezi. Rainer Schmidt studied in Germany,
Canada and the USA, where he attended the Cincinnati Conservatory under the
tutelage of Walter Levin and Dorothy DeLay. Hatto Beyerle, Heinrich Schiff and
Oleg Maisenberg also played important roles in the artistic development of the
musicians. The meeting with Nikolaus Harnoncourt helped to expand their field of
musical vision, as did the friendship and artistic relationship with Gidon
Kremer, who has regularly involved the ensemble in his chamber-music projects at
the Lockenhaus Chamber Music Festival.
