Happy Holidays 2024 Newsletter!

Gregor Huebner News

Dear Friends,
Happy Holidays, everyone!

2024 has been an incredible year, filled with unforgettable moments. From my time in Venice to performing at the Stereo Africa Festival in Dakar, Senegal, it’s been a year full of experiences that will stay with me forever.

One of the highlights has been completing my composition Genetic Memory for large ensemble and 6 voices, which will be performed by the Munich Composers Collective and Trondheim Voices on January 11, 2025 at the Festival Out of The Box 2025: The Resonance of Time at Werksviertel Mitte Kunst Munich. I can’t wait for you to hear it and experience the energy of this new piece!

Almost at the same time on January 10th Sirius Quartet is releasing a new recording called Incantations. You can already watch some of the music on YouTube with special visualizer versions. The release show for Incantations will be at our favorite club, New York City’s Joe’s Pub on March 7, 2025.

New World Nov. 9th 2016 was originally written as a personal reflection or commentary on the political climate of 2016. it could certainly resonate in different ways now given the changes and ongoing challenges in the political landscape. The fact that it’s being premiered in an orchestral version at Kornhaus Ulm on February 12, 2025 adds even more depth to the event.

Looking ahead to 2025, I’m beyond excited for what’s to come. I’ll be premiering new compositions, enjoying amazing concerts, and touring with some of my favorite ensembles. It’s going to be an unforgettable year, and I can’t wait to share it all with you.

I also have something special to announce for all the string players out there: In June, Sirius Quartet will be hosting a very special workshop at one of our favorite places in Germany—the Landesakademie Ochsenhausen. We’ll be diving into special techniques for string instruments, as well as exploring the art of improvisation. If you’re passionate about expanding your musical horizons, this is an event you won’t want to miss!

Thank you all for your continued support—your energy and enthusiasm keeps me going. Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a New Year full of inspiration!

See you next year!
with love, Gregor
