Rencontres Musicales de Champéry

Welcome to Champéry for this summer's musical rendez-vous!An evening entitled "Brahms & Clara Schumann" will take place on Thursday 10 August at 7pm. A friendship in love It was Robert Schumann who was one of the first to spot the genius of the young Johannes Brahms.Brahms became a very close friend of the Schumann family. So close that Clara Schumann became his muse. Precious friendship or impossible love? The works gathered here will weave together the musical context of this triangulation between Robert, Clara and Johannes. It will also be an opportunity to honour Clara Schumann, that exceptional female figure of the 19th century: virtuoso concert performer with an international career, attentive wife and mother of eight children, and a composer to boot!   DISTRIBUTION : - MÉLODIE ZHAO, piano PROGRAMME : Johannes BrahmsVariations on a theme by Robert Schumann, Op. 9 Robert SchumannKreisleriana, op. 16 Clara SchumannFour Fugitive Pieces, op. 15 Melodie ZhaoSurprise!
