The concert evening opens with a multifaceted solo program in which the individual artistic voices of the ensemble members unfold. Each musician presents a solo work, opening up their own musical cosmos - personal, direct and sonically diverse. The result is a lively dialog of characters in which different forms of expression, styles and moods meet.
The musicians are: Jakow Pavlenko (violin), Alexey Semenenko (violin), Daniel Austrich (violin and viola), Susanne Szambelan (violoncello) and Olga Shkrygunova (piano).
The second part of the evening will focus on Robert Schumann's Piano Quintet in E flat major, one of the most important works of Romantic chamber music. Composed in 1842 - Schumann's "chamber music year" - this work combines symphonic sonority with the intimacy of chamber music ensemble playing. After the soloistic perspectives of the first part, the individual voices merge into a unified whole. A dense, emotionally diverse overall sound emerges from individual expressiveness - from intimate lyricism to a powerful, radiant finale.
The dramaturgy of the evening thus leads from the individual to the collective and makes audible how personal voices combine in the ensemble to form a greater musical unity.Translated with DeepL
