Description
An evening dedicated to young Swiss talent, featuring artists from the new generation in the intimate setting of the Temple. Young talents - "Vorwärts!" Les Rencontres Musicales de Champéry devotes an evening to artists of the new generation, brought together in the intimate setting of the Temple. Vorwärts! showcases young musicians already noted for their personality and artistic commitment. The duo re:flact, formed by Samuel Gogniat (vibraphone) and Mathis Wolfer (recorders), propose an original dialogue between Johann Sebastian Bach and Chick Corea, bringing together baroque invention and jazz freedom. Through arrangements, improvisations and sound collages, they explore unexpected connections between structure and spontaneity. Finalists at the Deutscher Musikwettbewerb 2025 in their discipline, they embody a curious and resolutely contemporary approach. The evening continues with César Franck's Sonata for violin and piano, performed by violinist Mathilde Watler and pianist Gaston Schadt. Both stand out for the maturity of their playing and the depth of their interpretation, tackling this masterpiece of Romanticism with intensity and a sense of dialogue. This emblematic, expressively rich score anchors the program in the tradition of the great repertoire. A blend of sonic exploration and classical rigor, Vorwärts! celebrates the élan of youth and the vitality of transmission.
