Text from the organiser:
— When two eras meet.
Composer Camille Pépin (b. 1990) is being highlighted as one of France’s — if not Europe’s — most exciting and relevant composers right now. In the piece Chamber Music, a sextet written for mezzo-soprano, strings, horn, clarinet and piano, we are taken on a symphonic journey into the poetic world of the Irish writer James Joyce. A musical world as pulsatingly beautiful as it is fascinating.
Next, we’ll hear Austro-Hungarian composer Ernst von Dohnányi’s Sextet in C major, a highly popular piece which, like Pépin’s, borders on the American and almost Hollywood-like — yet remains firmly rooted in the classical European tradition. On stage are mezzo-soprano Melis Jaatinen, a large ensemble from the Oslo Philharmonic, pianist César Cañón, and our own artistic director, pianist Thormod Rønning Kvam.
Melis Jaatinen mezzo-soprano
