introduction Elias Van Dyck / 19:15 / Blue Bar
Is part of
Festival Du côté de chez Proust
Steven Isserlis / Connie Shih

Steven Isserlis and Connie Shih graze amongst the melodies of French Romanticism.

Steven Isserlis is always on his guard against clichés and shares his passion for authentic and inspired performances with the Canadian pianist Connie Shih. Together they allow themselves to be carried away by the bright melodies of French Romanticism. The music of Augusta Holmes, muse of Franck and Saint-Saëns, is a true discovery, as is the lesser-known work of Reynaldo Hahn. Perfect music for a cellist who is uniquely talented at making his instrument sing.

This concert is part of the first festival day of 'Du côté de chez Proust'. You can also buy a combination ticket for the whole day.
