Yoon|Rochat|Jáuregui – Piano Trio

Soyoung Yoon

Violinist Soyoung Yoon has garnered acclaim for her “meticulous… highly disciplined” (Gramophone) and “suave” performances whose “technical perfection… is always placed at the service of the music” (The Guardian). Prize winner of major competitions including the Yehudi Menuhin (1st prize), Henryk Wieniawski (1st prize), and Indianapolis (silver medallist) violin competitions, Soyoung has earned the respect of her peers as a violinist and chamber musician of the highest calibre.

Nadège Rochat

Nadège Rochat is a distinguished expressive voice among young cellists. Besides her wide-ranging musical interests in baroque, classical and romantic repertoire, she likes to explore forgotten composers, world music and contemporary pieces. She started to play the cello at the age of four and first studied in Geneva, then in Cologne with Maria Kliegel. She won several first prizes in Swiss, German and British competitions and won twice the Swiss SUISA prize for the interpretation of contemporary music.

Judith Jáuregui

Regarded as an artist of expressive refinement, luminous pulsation and great personality, Judith Jáuregui has become one of today’s most captivating Spanish pianists. British magazine International Piano has described her as ‘creative intuition’, ‘an imaginative artist, a strikingly individual performer who has impressed European audiences with her maturity of expression’.

***

Arenky’s Trio no. 1, is a work not very often played and that is a real jewel-piece: big, intense, with a melodic richness to enjoy and with which to fly. Following by Debussy’s Trio, his first composition considered ‘extensive’, fresh, positive, luminous. On the second part would play one of the greatest trios of the trio-repertoire, Brahms no. 1. Arenky’s Trio is from 1894, Debussy’s from 1880 and Brahms’s from 1854, but it underwent a very profound revision in 1889. Three works from the end of the 19th century, that nostalgic era in which romanticism lasted until its last consequences, the era of devotion to the Great Beauty.

Maria Radutu | Pianobox

With well-known or rarely played piano works in search of emotion in the music, Maria Radutu picks up the audience in her interactive PianoBox format and turns the evening into an experience through charm, sensitivity and a wealth of facets.

“My new PianoBox programme focuses on 5 elements that bring music to life. Freedom in improvisation, breathtaking pauses, melody or harmony, the power and the most diverse colours form the 5 elements to jump between styles and epochs in the usual way, out of conviction that the emotion lies not in the musical language or origin, but in the depth.”

Maria Radutu, known for her boldly designed albums and interdisciplinary projects, finds in her PianoBox the most flexible framework to convey piano literature that inspires her in an emotional way. For the audience, the connection between theme and programme is revealed through the stories about the music that Radutu freely tells between the works. The boundary between stage and audience disappears, the music remains the star of the evening. The word opens the door to discovering new things in the music.
