Visions from the other side
This concert challenges the premise of the classical music concert setting by boldly turning it on its head. Curated and performed by violin-piano ensemble Duo Cordelia, this program offers listeners a different path to experience chamber music. The two seasoned musicians invite the public to a place of deep reflection, humour and wonder by presenting well-researched repertoire written by truly revolutionary artists, as well as original compositions by violinist Vanessa Marcoux. The duo also showcases musical improvisation, which creates unique moments where time is suspended and the audience and performers are participants in an unfolding creation. These elements are ultimately stitched together in a compelling tale of resilience, where composers achieved emotional survival by escaping to imaginary musical landscapes of immense contrast and depth. Ultimately, this concert goes to the heart of our deep connection to music.
