Event Description
A Musical Patchwork Family for Mother’s Day
This Mother’s Day concert shows how naturally music from different eras and styles can come together. Johann Sebastian Bach’s Harpsichord Concerto in D minor unfolds with irresistible rhythmic energy and a striking sense of modernity.
For Fazıl Say – a pianist and composer who moves freely between classical music, jazz and improvisation – Bach represents both a source of inspiration and an artistic challenge. In his suite Mother Earth, Say creates a distinctive musical world that blends elements of folklore, Romantic piano writing and jazz.
Sergei Prokofiev, in turn, looks back to the Viennese Classical tradition in his Classical Symphony with charm and wit: elegant, pointed and full of subtle humour. The result is a programme that does not set past and present against each other, but brings them together in a lively and engaging way.
