Rising Stars: violist Ava Bahari

Rising Stars

In the Rising Stars series, the stars of the future present themselves with personal and distinctively curated programs. The musicians, selected by leading European concert halls, also make a stop in the Kleine Zaal during their star tour of the most prestigious stages. No evening is the same: every dream program is unique and sounds different. Moreover, every Rising Star surprises with a brand-new work. What connects all the musicians is their distinct individual voice and their fresh perspective on the music. The concerts are performed in one continuous arc of tension, without an intermission.

Ava Bahari

She loves chamber music, but was equally artist in residence with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra: Ava Barahari, described by The Strad as 'a remarkable emerging talent'. The Swedish-born violinist plays on a Stradivarius from Cremona, built in 1694. 'I want to show the audience in Amsterdam the similarities and the differences between the pieces – and the beauty of collaboration!' Bahari brings music from her homeland: Anders Hillborg wrote a new work for her. And who ever hears pieces by Elfrida Andrée or Boris Blacher? Bahari brings them together. More familiar works by Poulenc, Mozart, and Sarasate will be performed.
