This programme features music by influential French composers of the 20th century. Among them is the exceptionally gifted Lili Boulanger, who made a lasting impression on French music despite her short life. Her piece „Nocturne“ captures a dreamlike, twilight mood. The violin sonata by Belgian violin virtuoso and composer Eugène Ysaÿe is a technically demanding and clearly influenced by style of Johann Sebastian Bach. From Olivier Messiaen’s „Quartet for the End of Time“, the eighth movement, „Praise to the Eternity of Jesus“, offers a deeply spiritual and reflective experience. Audiences will also enjoy the lyrical melodies and lush harmonies of Gabriel Fauré’s first violin sonata.

Without intermission, duration 1 hour
