L’Auditori has been a member of the European Concert Hall Organization since 2007. Each year, ECHO selects its Rising Stars, a group of brilliant young artists who are offered a platform from which to launch their international careers. We will be able to hear three of these rising stars at the Barcelona Emergents Festival.
The precocious violinist Noa Wildschut who, at the age of only 18, is starting out on her career as a concert pianist endorsed by Anne-Sophie Mutter, will perform a programme by Russian composers and the premiere of Sarasvati, a work commissioned by ECHO to Dutch composer Joey Roukens. Trumpet player Simon Höfele, a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist and a regular with some of the leading European orchestras, will perform a repertoire of music from the 20th and 21st centuries and the work commissioned by ECHO to Czech composer Miroslav Srnka. Accordion player João Barradas, winner of prestigious international awards such as the World Accordion Trophy, who performs as solidly in the classical world as in the jazz world, will offer a programme centered on arrangements for accordion of works by Johann Sebastian Bach and the work commissioned by ECHO to French composer Yann Robin.
