Storioni Festival Klankverwanten: ‘Piet & Picasso in Parijs’
26 May 2023 - 21:00 - 22:00
€20
We close the Storioni Festival at Piet Hein Eek in the evening with a final concert in the workshop. This concert is based on Picasso and Parisian musicians of his time.
“The late evening concert begins with music from Igor Stravinsky’s neo-classical ballet Pulcinella, a beautiful blend of graceful melodies by Pergolesi mixed with Stravinsky’s spicy flavour. Followed by songs by Paul Dessau, a composer who is far too rarely heard. He emigrated to the US because of the Nazi regime, but later became one of the GDR’s most important composers, alongside Kurt Weill. Then one of those wonderful world-famous piano pieces by the French satirist Érik Satie, Gymnopédies, which would evoke visions of naked boy dancers in silhouettes on a Greek vase. Next, a sad tribute to a deceased singer by Francis Poulenc, his Élégie, moving in its simplicity, and full of hope and resignation. Finally, in his Piano Trio, Maurice Ravel pays homage to the past, to the Baroque era, to counterpoint and to his native French Basque country.”
After this concert, there will be closing drinks on the roof terrace of the Lobby Restaurant of Hotel Piet Hein Eek.
