Concert mémorable par l'interprétation et la prise de son que ce 1er numéro des Lunchtime Concerts, Belfast Music Society International Festival of Chamber Music 2020 (10-03-2020). Et les trois autres numéros ne sont pas moins intéressants !
The Dudok Quartet open this week's Lunchtime Concert series with the third of Haydn's Opus 20 set of string quartets, a collection of works which would prove incredibly influential and give the composer the title 'Father of the String Quartet'.
We then welcome the trio of flautist Adam Walker, viola player Hélène Clément and harpist Agnès Clément in a performance of Debussy's Trio for Flute, Harp and Viola. Originally intended as one of six chamber works, the composer only completed three. Of the trio, Debussy once asked if it "should move us to laughter or to tears. Perhaps both?"
To complete this first programme from the festival, we welcome the celebrated Venezuelan pianist, Gabriela Montero who performs selections from Chick Corea's Children's Songs.
