Rhapsody in Blue

On Saturday, April 30, 2022 at 7:30 p.m., the FHNW School of Music, Classics will present a special concert in the hall of the Landgasthof Riehen: four works, including two compositions by Swiss composers, will be performed by students and professors of the School. The pianists Zoltán Fejévári and Claudio Martínez Mehner, the violist Silvia Simionescu and the conductor François Benda, who is also professor for clarinet in Basel, will play. In addition to Gershwin's Rhapsody with its Blue Notes, you will hear three lesser-known but by no means less interesting works: the Ballade for viola and wind ensemble and the Sonatas for winds by the two Swiss composers Frank Martin and Rudolf Kelterborn, as well as Leoš Janáček's Capriccio for piano and wind ensemble.

Let the highly talented students and the extremely inspiring professors of the Hochschule für Musik FHNW take you into a colorful world of wind sounds that is rarely experienced in this combination!
