Welcome to our upcoming concert "6 hands | 1 piano" where we will be performing
a unique program consisting of pieces for solo, four-handed and six-handed
piano.
In the solo pieces each pianist will showcase their virtuosity and individual
expression. We will perform pieces ranging from classical to contemporary
styles, even including some original pieces. Here we can truly showcase our
individual backgrounds as pianists.
The four handed and six-handed pieces is where those backgrounds will be brought
together to create a celebration of teamwork, musicianship and creative synergy.
With the four-handed pieces we are able to tell our stories together, ranging
from folkdances to beautiful fairytales. The piano becomes very intimate when
two pianists have a dialogue on the instrument.
However, the six-handed pieces are what make this concert a must-see for
everyone. Three pianist playing together behind the same instrument is something
you don't get to see often. Together we will even premiere a new piece, written
by us for six-handed piano. This form of performance will showcase our
individual talents while working seamlessly together to produce a unique sound
that will captivate your senses.
The concert event promises to be an unforgettable experience, with each
performance showcasing our different styles and skills. Don't miss this
opportunity to witness the magic of piano music at its best. Join us for an
evening of beautiful melodies and impeccable performances.

TCHA LIMBERGER ( VIOLIN), RENÉ BIKAR ( BRÁCS),
VILMOS CSIKOS ( DOUBLE BASS)
Tcha’s trio of Budapest musicians causes a sensation, with bursts of soaring
musical tragedy and czardas madness delivered with an astounding purity of sound
and hardly imaginable depth of musical dialogue.
In true Budapest gypsy style they switch between soaring intensity and
smouldering pathos delivering a passion and technical virtuosity that astounds.
MAGYAR NÓTA is music actually composed by the Hungarian nobility, to liven up
their noble feasts and parties. They were looking in the 19th century for
Hungarian music, that had to be less primitive than the traditional Hungarian
music, which was only played by the illiterate peasants.
So they invented a new style, based on elements of Hungarian folk music, both
textual and melodic-harmonic, all played with a classical Western European
sound.
They hired gypsy musicians to come and live with them at the castles, where they
should learn to play violin, double bass, clarinet and cimbalom in a classical
way. Then they should make the new repertoire into one of the most highly
regarded forms of popular music.
‘I myself started to learn that style because the Sinti, Gypsies from western
Europe, including my own family, very much look up to, and love, this Hungarian
music.
Manouche and Sinti used to copy that style, but without the necessary know-how
and especially without the Hungarian language, which one needs very much to be
able to interpret that style well.
This is why I started to learn Hungarian at the age of 20 and spent a year and a
half in Budapest to master this music.
I then founded the Tcha Limberger's Budapest Orchestra.
For this concert we speak of the Budapest Ensemble, since it consists of not
more than three musicians.
This music continues to fascinate me deeply.’

"Autour de Fauré"
Céline Bodson, Violon & Manon Gertsch, Piano
WEBERN-PROKOFIEV-FAURE-BEETHOVEN
2024 est l'année Gabriel Fauré, puisque nous célébrons le centenaire de sa
disparition. Nous vous avons donc préparé pour l'occasion sa première sonate
pour violon et piano. Fauré est déjà tout entier dans cette partition,
où l'on retrouve ses sonorités curieuses et ses rythmes imprévus.
Une page de Anton Webern et deux mélodies de Sergei Prokofiev ouvrent le
récital.
En seconde partie et pour terminer sur une note printanière,
nous jouerons la 5ème sonate de Beethoven remplie d'allegresse et de joie de
vivre.
"Eveille-toi, le soleil luit" pourrait-être le titre de ce programme, dans les
infinies modulations de la sonate de Fauré, dans l'insouciance de ces pages de
Prokofiev et Beethoven, dans l'aube silencieuse qui apparait d'un seul souflle
dans cette courte pièce de Webern, la caresse du vent.
Un programme aux couleurs scintillantes, une histoire printanière.
Programme détaillé :
- Anton Webern, « sehr langsam » premier mouvement des « quatre pièces pour
violon et piano » Op. 7 terminée en 1910
- Serge Prokofiev, les 2 premières (Andante et lento m’a non troppo) des 5
mélodies pour violon et piano Op. 35 bis écrites en 1920
- Gabriel Fauré, 1ère sonate en la majeur Op.13 composée en 1875
1. Allegro molto
2.Andante
3. Scherzo : Allegro vivo
4. Finale : Allegro quasi Presto
- Ludwig Van Beethoven, 5ème sonate en fa majeur Op. 24 dite "le printemps",

"Ta Mavra Moura" is a three-piece band from Athens, Greece. While their
repertoire is centered around Greek folk music of the twentieth century like the
styles of rebetiko and laiko, their sound also touches upon more traditional
flavors and even expands into modern areas like the compositions of Manos
Hatzidakis and Nikos Xydakis.
The band consists of bouzouki and guitar which is the basis of the urban folk
sound of Athens during era of Rebetiko. A unique element of their music is the
use of flute that while being unusual in such an orchestra, blends in perfectly
and opens new horizons to their sound. Meanwhile, their three voices singing
solo or in harmony complete their musical imagery.
Ta Mavra Moura:
Eirini Sgouridou – flute, voice
Giorgos Goudousakis – bouzouki, voice
Giorgis Karras – guitar, voice

Anmoor est né de la rencontre entre deux musiciens et des mélodies.
Mélodies qui ont traversé le temps et l'espace pour renaître d'une façon
nouvelle dans un monde qui se nourrit de son passé pour construire son présent.
A travers le prisme de ce qu'ils sont et du monde qui est le leur, le duo offre
un regard nouveau, unique et personnel, sur des mélodies traditionnelles venues
des quatre coins du monde. Celles-ci sont le terreau dans lequel naît
la musique d'Anmoor et duquel elle s'approche et s'éloigne librement.
