The heart of César Franck’s Piano Quintet contains some of the most darkly passionate music he ever composed, surrounded by storms and drama that make this magnificent work a truly captivating experience.

Thomas Adès is one of our greatest living composers and his chamber music glimmers with intricate beauty and exquisite colours. Alchymia is inspired by the world of Tudor England, and Adès makes reference to composers of that time, as well as the influence of Shakespeare.

Opening with Maurice Ravel’s homage to his teacher Gabriel Fauré, this concert looks back to those who shaped him and forward to those writing today for whom he remains a guiding light.

Programme:
RAVEL Berceuse sur le nom de Gabriel Fauré for violin & piano (3′)
SAINT-SAËNS Oboe Sonata (12′)
ADÈS Alchymia for clarinet quintet (24′)
MESSAGER Solo de Concours for solo clarinet (6′)
FRANCK Piano Quintet (35′)
