Paris/Helsinki. Evening of Piano Trios

Description

Just like Finnish composer Helvi Leiviskä (1902-1982), who was the first woman admitted to the Finnish Composers' Association, Mélanie Hélène Bonis (1858-1937) is also one of those composers who, after years of obscurity, are now being rediscovered. Since the beginning of the new millennium, Bonis's work has experienced a well-deserved renaissance – especially her compositions for piano. The piano trio "Soir et Matin" (1907), composed by the Parisian composer, depicts the contrasting atmospheres of different times of the day. The musicians of the Taru Ensemble combine Bonis's melodic impressions with the Piano Trio in A minor (1914) by Maurice Ravel, which is a remarkable example of how Ravel skillfully blended French charm with exotic influences. Helvi Leiviskä's piano trio also offers a musical opportunity to travel in thought to Helsinki and discover the Nordic influences of the 1920s. "Paris/Helsinki" is an event organized by the Society of Concerts for Finnish Music. This series of concerts is characterized by a thematic focus on works by Finnish composers, connected with colleagues from around the world, across eras and styles, within carefully crafted programs. At the invitation of "The Association for the Restoration of St. John’s," the concert will take place at the Anglican Church of St. John in Territet-Montreux. This collaboration is supported by the Finnish Church in Switzerland. After the concert, a friendly meet & greet "Meet & Greet the Artists" will invite you to personally exchange with the musicians in the early winter atmosphere. Welcome!
