Génération Classique
Ensemble Satellite:
Lia Manchon Martinez, violin
Coline Meulemans, viola
Marc Martin Nogueroles, cello
The exquisite transcription for string trio of Bach’s Goldberg Variations will lead the Satellite Trio into the intense and passionate music of the Dutch composer Emmy Frensel Wegener. And it is with the work of another composer, also performed for the first time at our Festival, that the winners of the ‘Génération Classique’ competition will demonstrate their infectious energy. Of Jewish origin and born in 1919 in Poland, Mieczyslaw Weinberg was one of the witnesses to the tragic fate of certain artists during that turbulent period; having taken refuge in the USSR, his career was fraught with obstacles, which he managed to overcome, thanks in part to the help of Dmitri Shostakovich.
A project by the Festivals de Wallonie. In partnership with the Conseil de la Musique and, more specifically, the 6x12 project. With the support of the National Lottery and its players, PlayRight and the PBA – Palais des Beaux-Arts de Charleroi.
