Ladies in the spotlight!
Friends of the Festival evening
Trio Susato :
Sarah Bayens, violin
Mikko Pablo, cello
Markiyan Popil, piano
For this Friends of the Festival concert, we invited the young Susato Trio to return to Stavelot after their brilliant performance in the summer of 2023. They had previously won 1st Prize in the Génération classique competition, and each of their concerts since then has confirmed their qualities. The programme chosen here honours four female composers of the 19th and 20th centuries, whose talent was so little recognised in their day. Fanny Mendelssohn and Clara Schumann take us down the paths traced by the two inseparable friends Felix and Robert, while Mel Bonis and Lily Boulanger introduce us to the legacy of Franck and Fauré.
Programme :
Mel Bonis: Soir et Matin
Lili Boulanger: D'un soir triste et d'un matin de printemps (A sad evening and a spring morning)
Clara Schumann: 4 Pièces Fugitives, Op.15 for piano
Fanny Mendelssohn: Trio in D minor, Op. 11
