Musica da camera

A musical journey that brings Beethoven's work into dialogue with the singular and captivating writing of great 20th century composers.

A violinist, a violist and a cellist take on one of the five trios composed by the young Beethoven with greed and brio. This colorful and virtuoso score is mixed with works written for the same group during the 20th century. This comparison sheds original light on the writing of the last representative of Viennese classicism, Beethoven having prepared the evolution towards Romanticism and influenced Western music for almost two centuries.

Schönberg was born at the end of the 19th century. Scelsi, Xenakis, Stroë, Gubaidulina and Harvey were born in the first thirty years of the 20th century. All of them have in common the heritage of the romantic and post-romantic music that developed in Europe during almost two hundred years.
This alternation between classical and modern music reveals the influences, the points of encounter as well as the particularities and differences that have emerged over time. Proof, if proof were needed, that each musical work is the fruit and legacy of the global history of music.

A concert in the form of a dive into a world of sound without spatial and temporal borders, in search of the unheard of.
