A big thank you to Megan Westberg for the cover story @stringsmagazine about the Blackbirds album ‘Music from the 1960s’ with my dear friends @maxim_emelyanychev and @thomasdunford and the @sverigesradiossymfoniorkester @berwaldhallen.

“I grew up in a small town, in Gütersloh, where Hans Werner Henze was born. Thanks to him and the promoter Klaus Klein, there were days of new music every year, where I met György Ligeti, Wolfgang Rihm, Aribert Reimann, and Hans Werner Henze in person, and encountered the music of John Cage, Earle Brown, and Feldman. I turned pages, listened to Ligeti talking about his piano études, and heard many first performances…New music was a common thing. Thanks to these influences, I could say that music of the post-war time was something that formed my childhood —it was vital and existential.”

From our friends at @pirastroofficial:

Let us introduce you to Pirastro Artist Janine Jansen (@janinejansenviolinist) who played a key role in designing the new Evah Pirazzi Neo strings for violin. 🎻

Together we developed a string set that offers great power and volume in its low frequencies, brilliance and focus across the entire sound spectrum and an inspiringly simple and direct response. As Janine Jansen says: “The new Evah Pirazzi Neo strings are in perfect resonance with my violin and they give an optimal balance between stability, flexibility, power, warmth and core.”

Did you already try the new Evah Pirazzi Neo violin strings? Let us know in the comments.
