Rising Stars | Javus Quartett: Fanny & Felix

The anniversary season of the Rising Stars scheme ends with not one, but four promising young classical musicians! The programme put together by the Javus Quartett pays tribute to a duo who revolutionised the Romantic era: Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and his sister Fanny Hensel. On the same evening, you will also be transported to the Hofburg in Vienna with Joseph Haydn and witness the premiere of a new work – now an essential aspect of the Rising Stars experience.
