Concert gratuit : Ukraine, trois siècles de musique

One violin, one piano, and three centuries of Ukrainian music told like a story.

It all begins in the XVIIIth century with Maksym Berezovsky, who went to study in Italy like Mozart. His sonata, lost during the Napoleonic wars, was found in Paris two centuries later. We then meet Skovoroda, a philosopher who sang his poems along the roads, followed by Lyssenko, who refused to translate his music into the language of the Russian empire. What they share: artists who defended their culture, sometimes at the cost of their lives.

Between dance tunes and more solemn pieces, this piano and violin concert reveals Ukraine through its musicians, from baroque to the present day. No musical knowledge is required: the pianist tells the story as the pieces unfold.

With Duo a piacere: DOm Paulin (piano and narration) and Nadiia Kramarenko (violin).

This concert opens "Terre de musiques", the new cycle by the association Et voilà! taking audiences on a journey from country to country across the seasons.
