Dimash Qudaibergen & Stjepan Hauser’s collab is a modern marvel of classical music. For their 2024 viral video, this duo unleashed their incredible talent for an astonishing live cover of “Ave Maria” — operatic, cinematic and completely breathtaking. Dimash and Hauser’s collab is imprinted in the minds of many, leaving everyone wondering: who are these new musical wonders?
Dimash Kudaibergen (professionally known as Dimash Qudaibergen or Димаш Құдайберген) is a groundbreaking young classical singer hailing from Kazakhstan. Many fans have praised his stunning ability to sing in more than 13 languages while representing his country beautifully through his own compositions.
But it’s the 29-year-old singer’s incredible vocal range which shot him into the neo-classical spotlight. Spanning well over six octaves (eight octaves if including whistle register notes), Dimash’s supernatural vocal capabilities are pretty much unparalleled by any other singer on Earth. Crowning his allure is a tone as angelic as a choir boy’s, and an attitude which captivates like that of a red-carpet A-Lister.
After being the first contestant to win a perfect score in the history of the National Zhas Kanat Contest in 2012, Dimash has performed in front of the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, released over 40 singles, headlined a tour in celebration of the 25th anniversary of his home country’s independence and sung at countless award shows, film festivals, and TV shows, all while picking up an impossible list of prestigious music awards and accolades in the process.
Stjepan Hauser (known by the stage name HAUSER), is a Croatian cellist. At 37 years old and with over 4 million Instagram followers, HAUSER has become a household name in the neo-classical scene, acclaimed for defying the conventions of cello and classical music. He has performed in front of Pope Francis, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, and multiple American Presidents. HAUSER has claimed 21 first prizes across a myriad of the world’s most prestigious music competitions. He has even collaborated with Elton John, George Michael, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers!
Hauser’s passion to “show the world the versatility of the cello” started with 2Cellos — a Croatian duet who took the internet by storm with their pop-classical crossovers, amassing more than 6.5 million YouTube subscribers. Hauser has since gone solo; his debut solo album “HAUSER CLASSIC” made the classical genre spellbinding to all, hitting #1 on the Billboard Charts — an unfathomable feat for a cellist. Paired with Dimash, their musical command over “Ave Maria” is unstoppable, absorbing, and immense. If you’re into classical music, these are two stars to watch.
