Maxim, Steven and Simon come together around a moving program marked by the freedom and irony of writing. Composed under the Stalinist dictatorship, these works had to please the censors while expressing their dissonant voices. This concert invites you on a journey of contradictory emotions... Programme:  Shostakovitch - Sonate for violoncelo and piano Prokofiev - Sonata pour violin and piano Entracte Rachmaninov - Trio n° 1 Shostakovitch - Trio n° 2 Universally hailed as one of the world's finest musicians and often considered the greatest living violinist, Grammy Award-winning Maxim Vengerov. Among the many awards he has received, he received the World Economic Forum's Crystal Prize (2007) - honoring artists who have used their art to improve the state of the world. One of the most famous cellists of his generation, playing alongside the greatest orchestras and with the most representative artists of our time, Steven Isslerlis is a fervent defender of chamber music, that is to say, of making music together. Simon Trpceski was propelled to the forefront of the international scene by the BBC New Generation Artists in 2001. Since then, he has performed with the greatest orchestras, on the main musical stages and in the company of the most famous artists. Pre-concert: Bilal Alnemr and , 6.30 p.m. Born in Damascus, Syria, Bilal began studying the violin at the conservatory. When the war arrives, he works at home following videos on Youtube, in particular those of Maxim Vengerov. He managed to leave for France and was finally welcomed to the famous Barenboim-Saïd Academy in Berlin to continue his training under the guidance of Michael and Daniel Barenboim. The young Israeli Itai Navon began his studies in Jerusalem then in Tel Aviv and graduated from the Barenboim-Said Akademie with Sir András Schiff. Currently, Itai is studying in the "Sir András Schiff Performance Program for Young Pianists" at the Kronberg Academy.  He presents Sonata No. 2 by Syrian composer Solhi al-Wadi (composed in homage to Shostakovich); 'Memory of a dear place' by Tchaikosvky; and 5 Melodies by Prokofiev.
