A youth trio from the St. Petersburg Philharmonic will perform in Vitebsk
On November 2nd at 6:30 PM, the youth trio of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra named after D.D. Shostakovich, international competition laureates Olesya MOROZOVA – piano, Yan TOMILOV - violin, Roman KISELEV - cello, will perform at the Vitebsk Regional Philharmonic Hall. Honored Artist of Russia Daniil Meerovich – viola, will also take part in the concert.
Chamber ensembles (trios, quartets), featuring the entire string family of an orchestra, remain a popular form of chamber music today. The timbral composition of such ensembles allows composers to create high artistic images and convey deep emotions comparable to the drama of symphonies. It is no coincidence that this genre, born in the Classical era, developed actively during Romanticism and acquired particular emotional depth in the works of Russian composers.
The creation of chamber ensembles has always been a priority for many major orchestral collectives. Young artists from the legendary ensemble – the Academic Symphony Orchestra of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, international competition laureates – will present to the Vitebsk audience the most famous works of world chamber classics, including pieces by Haydn, Rachmaninoff, and Arensky.
For the first time in Vitebsk, Gustav Mahler's renowned quartet, with its interesting creation history, will be performed. To perform this piece, Honored Artist of Russia Daniil Meerovich (viola), whose work is well-known to the Vitebsk public, will join the young musicians. The well-known Stravinsky Quartet, with which the violist is associated, has delighted audiences several times at the I.I. Sollertinsky Festivals.
This combination of youth and maturity, ardor and composure, boundless skill and virtuosity will be heard at the concert, which will feature:
Trio in G Major. J. Haydn
Elegiac Trio in G Minor. S. Rachmaninoff
Trio in D Minor. A. Arensky
Quartet for Piano, Violin, Viola, and Cello. G. Mahler (first performance in Vitebsk)
