About event
Duo Gardenia: Oscar Sajous (tenor) & Joana Faria (guitar)
“Voces Mundi”
Folk music is a great source of inspiration for many composers. It is often an important part of the language and culture they grew up with, but sometimes they find their inspiration across the border. Benjamin Britten arranged English folk songs, but also composed “Songs from the Chinese” for tenor and guitar. Maurice Ravel created beautiful accompaniments to French translations of Greek folk songs. And in the “Bachianas brasileiras” by the Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, Brazilian folk music comes together with the musical language of Johann Sebastian Bach. Duo Gardenia, consisting of tenor Oscar Sajous and guitarist Joana Faria, fits this special program like a glove.

Angelina Posoven (soprano) + Matvey Glukhovskiy (piano)
“A Tale of a Fled Princess and the World left Behind”
What comes to mind when you hear the term “Eastern European music”? A mix of folk motifs, often difficult to distinguish from each other, as many struggle to recognize the unique flavors of Slavic languages and traditions. Yet the roots of each culture follow their own path. For soprano Angelina Posoven and pianist Matvey Glukhovskiy, both Slavic, the beauty of different tones and intonations resonates, and they long to share this with others. In this program they investigate how Dvořák, Szymanowski, Skoryk and Kosenko weave folk songs from the Czech Republic, Poland and Ukraine into their classical compositions. They reveal how the special melodies of their languages shape the music, inviting us to listen carefully and appreciate its depth.
