Duos for violin and cello" concert
By François Pineau-Benois and Aurélienne Brauner
As part of the European Heritage Days, the public is invited to attend the "Duos for violin and cello" concert, performed by violinist François Pineau-Benois and cellist Aurélienne Brauner, super-soloist with the Orchestre National de France.
In counterpoint to Bourdelle's work, the program features Romantic and post-romantic pieces by Maurice Ravel, Reinhold Glière, Zoltán Kodály and Johan Halvorsen.
The "stripping down to the extreme" of Maurice Ravel's Sonata for violin and cello, composed in homage to Claude Debussy, echoes Bourdelle's quest for synthesis. Composer Zoltán Kodály's interest in the folk melodies and traditional music that emerge in the Duo for violin and cello resonates with the ancestral sources invoked by the sculptor.
Sunday, September 22, 2 pm, 3 pm, 4 pm and 5 pm
Duration of each concert: approx. 20 minutes
Program:
- 2 pm:
Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) : Sonata for violin and cello, M.73
