Matinée: Sister Heart – Brother Soul

Description

Fanny Mendelssohn as a guest in the musical-literary salon: The Trio Tavolata invites you to a meeting with the composer and pianist Fanny Hensel, the invisible sister behind the great Felix Mendelssohn. As with their last program about Johannes Brahms ("Free but lonely"), the trio serves a cleverly composed surprise menu of background texts, letters, and selected compositions. The theme of gender roles in the patriarchal structure of their time becomes the focal point of the fate of this highly gifted but loyal daughter, sister, and wife. Look forward to a base of bourgeoisie, spiced with a pinch of Italianità, refined with a good dose of zest for life, delicately bitterly dusted with longing, and simmered on the flame of musical passion.
