VIOLIN & PIANO

Noteworthy Women
In the musical world, it’s easier to find acclaimed women interpreters than composers. That’s why the programme is so unusual: two interpreters for seven women!

A journey through history and geography to meet them all: from Clara and Fanny, chiefly renowned for the illustrious families they belonged to – Schumann and Mendelssohn – than for their musical accomplishments, to French Lili Boulanger and Cecile Chaminade, to the Polish violinist and composer G. Bacewicz, and finally Italian Teresa Procaccini.

Surely not all known to the general public, but surely all “noteworthy” women!

 

Music is neither masculine nor feminine, but it offers space to any type of colour or idea. There’s no racism, prejudice or affiliation in it, except to emotion and communication in order to create new “meeting dimensions”.

Project: Variation
A “variation” is the reworking of a musical idea changed and transformed as to its original form, so as it happens in life.

Being born and growing is the same as transforming, it means constantly changing our origin, and sometimes even stray from it, not to recant it but to “look for ourselves and the wholeness that already lies within us”... our journey is our composition.

This programme includes works by W.A. Mozart, L. van Beethoven, N. Paganini and F. Liszt; the variations themes are all drawn from and inspired by the great operatic repertoire.
