Avantgarde Jazz festival - Maistra

je nastavio u Beču kod profesora Reinharda
Latzka te u Londonu na Kraljevskoj muzičkoj
akademiji kod prof. Matsa Lidstroma.
Stjepan Hauser je započeo osnovno glazbeno
obrazovanje u rodnoj Puli, a srednjoškolsko je
pohađao i završio u Rijeci u klasi prof. Maura
Šestana. Već zarana navikao se na nagrade
- dobitnik je 21 prve nagrade na županijskim,
državnim i međunarodnim natjecanjima.
Kao stipendist Zaklade Adris i Frankopan
Fondacije završio je dodiplomski studij
pod vodstvom prof. Natalie Pavlutskaye u
Londonu, a kasnije je bio na poslijediplomskom
studiju kod prof. Ralpha Kirshbauma kao
stipendist Dorothy Stone Foundation na
RNCM u Manchesteru i kod Bernarda
Greenhousea u SAD-u. U listopadu 2006. bio
je jedini čelist izabran da izvede gala koncert
u Palazzo Vecchio u Firenci za Mstislava
Rostropoviča, koji je bio oduševljen ovim
mladim umjetnikom. Uoči nastupa imao je
i masterclass, koji je sam maestro odlučio
filmski dokumentirati.
U kratkoj pauzi između mnogobrojnih
putovanja, nastupa i proba, „ukrali“ smo im
nešto vremena za ovaj razgovor.
MCM: Koncert u zagrebačkoj Areni prvi je
veliki nastup u Hrvatskoj nakon niza uspješnih
koncerata odrađenih diljem svijeta i sjajne
suradnje sa sir Eltonom Johnom. Kakav
je osjećaj vratiti se u Hrvatsku ovjenčan
svjetskom slavom?
2CELLOS: Kad obiđete cijeli svijet, shvatite
kako je uvijek najljepše vratiti se doma i
zasvirati za svoje ljude!
MCM: Koncert će biti podijeljen u dva dijela, a
većina publike u Areni doći će zbog crossovera,
zasigurno. Što očekujete od prvoga, klasičnog
dijela koncerta?
2CELLOS: Ljudi obično dođu zbog crossovera,
ali onda kad im mi „uvalimo“ i malo klasike, u
pravilu to odmah zavole i mnogima to postane
čak i najdraži i najposebniji dio koncerta! Uz
Zagrebačku filharmoniju svirat ćemo najljepše
melodije, koje diraju ravno u dušu, i mislimo da
će to biti idealan početak spektakla.
Valter Dešpalj. He continued his education
in Vienna with professor Reinhard Latzk and
in London at the Royal Music Academy with
Mats Lindstrom.
Stjepan Hauser began with elementary
music education in his birth town Pula, and
continued with high school education in
Rijeka in the class of professor Mauro Šestan.
In the early age he got used to awards - he
has won 21 first prizes at county, state and
international competitions.
As the holder of the scholarship by the Adris
Foundation and the Frankopan Foundation,
he graduated from the undergraduate study
under the mentorship of professor Natalia
Pavlutskaya in London, and later he attended
the post-graduate study with professor
Ralph Kirshbaum as the holder of the Dorothy
Stone Foundation scholarship at RNMC in
Manchester and with Bernard Greenhouse in
the USA. in October 2006, he was the only
cellist chosen to perform at the gala concert
at the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence for Mstislav
Rostropovič, who was thrilled with this young
artist. On the eve of the performance, he had
a masterclass, which the maestro decided to
document in film.
In the short break in between numerous
journeys, performances and rehearsals, we
“stole” a bit of their time for this interview.
MCM: The concert at the Zagreb ARENA is the
first big performance in Croatia after a series
of successful concerts performed all over
the world and an excellent cooperation with
Sir Elton John. How does it feel to return to
Croatia crowned with world glory?
2CELLOS: When you take a tour of the entire
world, you realize how good it feels to be back
and play for our people!
MCM: The concert will be divided into two
parts, and most of the audience in the Arena
will certainly come because of the crossovers.
What do you expect how will the audience
perceive the first classical part of the concert?
2CELLOS: People usually come because of
crossovers, but then when we slip in a bit of

Stjepan: U Rovinju ću zaprositi svoju
buduću suprugu, to je najljepši grad u
Hrvatskoj!
Luka: Istra je raj na zamlji, tamo bismo
htjeli ostarjeti.
Stjepan: I am going to ask my future
wife to marry me in Rovinj, it is the
most beautiful town in Croatia!
Luka: Istria is heaven on earth, a place
where we would like to grow old.
