Rencontres Musicales de Champéry

Description

Les Rencontres Musicales de Champéry opens with two septets: Ludwig van Beethoven's famous Septet in E flat major and the lesser-known one by Adolphe Blanc. Swiss musicians and Fanfare de Champéry open the event.   « Ludwig ! » Rencontres Musicales de Champéry opens under the banner of chamber music and friendship. Focusing on two septets, this concert contrasts an essential work from the repertoire with an unjustly overlooked page, revealing all the richness and vitality of this emblematic group. Ludwig van Beethoven's famous Septet in E-flat major, a masterpiece of balance and inventiveness, dialogues with Adolphe Blanc's Septet, a composer now too rarely played. Two works in mirror image, carried by the same spirit of conviviality and musical pleasure, where instruments intertwine with natural elegance. Gathered for the occasion, leading Swiss musicians bring this luminous program to life, celebrating chamber music at its most generous and human. As a prelude to the evening, the Fanfare de Champéry, a jewel of local culture, will salute the opening of this new edition.   Musicians: - Andrey Baranov, violin - Darryl Bachmann, viola - Chiara Samatanga, cello - Sylvia Minkova, double bass - Damien Bachmann, clarinet - Donatien Bachmann, bassoon - Christophe Sturzenegger, horn   Program: - Adolphe Blanc – Septet in E major, Op. 40 - Ludwig van Beethoven – Septet in E-flat major, Op. 20   Practical information on the official website of the Rencontres Musicales de Champéry.
