Concert in cooperation with International Holland Music Sessions
The prestige of the young musicians, who perform in the concerts of the International Holland Music Sessions, bears on the fact, that they prove their talent in competitions although their concert itineraries are full. The Dutch-French violinist Cosima Soulez Larivière won last autumn the 1st prize in the Bartók World Competition in Budapest. In the second half of the concert will perform the French pianist Ingmar Lazar, who is quickly working forwards the bright side of chamber music. In the varied programme the musicians will offer magnificent pieces by composers from diverse cultures. After winning the Bartók Competition, Cosima Soulez Larivière said: „The main task for a musician is to get in tune with the soul, the spirit of the composer and the countries’ culture and traditions“. Ingmar Lazar will shape the different poetics of Liszt’s virtuoso Mephisto Waltz, expressing a robust and lively dance in a village inn and the heady onomatopoeia and the brilliancy of Ravel’s Miroirs.
