What a joy to welcome our new national star, Swiss mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti alongside the charismatic American accompanist Todd Camburn! These two longtime collaborators (they also met at the HEMU in Lausanne and often perform together) will delight us with an exclusive program featuring two cornerstones of the repertoire: Wagner's _Wesendonck Lieder_ and Chausson's _Poème de l’amour et de la mer_.
After the intermission, three songs by Henri Duparc (_Chanson triste_, _La vague et la cloche_, _La vie antérieure_), three songs by Francis Poulenc (_Hôtel_, _Montparnasse_, _Les chemins de l’amour_), as well as one of his short Improvisations for solo piano (the 15th), followed by a song by Jacques Brel (_La chanson des vieux amants_) and one by Léo Ferré (_Avec le temps_), in an arrangement by Guy-François Leuenberger commissioned by us for this occasion.
The young musicologist Gregory Rauber will introduce this recital at 7:00 p.m. in the hall.
Cost: CHF 30.- / CHF 25.- (reduced) / 15.- (under 20 / students)
