Brilliant, mature, cultivated and sensitive is how the press describes the style of Beatrice Rana (1993), one of the brightest stars in the galaxy of great pianists. Winner of the prestigious Montreal International Competition (2011), “2017 Young Artist of the Year” (Gramophone), “Best Female Artist 2018” (Classic BRIT), and an exclusive recording artist for Warner Classic, the natural-born soloist is also founder of the Classiche Forme (2017), a festival dedicated to presenting chamber music in a dynamic, young, and attractive way.
The pianist’s stylistically varied recitals are a reflection of her technical superiority, musical intelligence and refreshing professionalism. The evening’s programme reveals her special approach: Beatrice feels the links between the works as much instinctively as intellectually.

“Her touch is weighty: the notes come through with a full and rounded timbre. But with the weightiness of touch comes almost uncanny accuracy, so the melody in a passage of notes is clear as well as rich: there’s no question of the waters being muddied.” Bachtrack

“This may be the most subtle playing you ever heard but there are moments when it is the most powerfully commanding. The pianist is not just the gentlest nymph you ever encountered; she is also the most forceful goddess.” Jack Buckley

Improvisation – Dance Suite

Composer, organist and improviser Thierry Escaich – “one of the most fascinating chameleons of his generation” (Diapason) – is able to combine these three profiles in a unique manner, binding them inextricably together to reflect his rich inner world. An ambassador of the great French school of improvisation, Escaich is equally impressive as a brilliant performer keeping alive the time-honoured tradition of Paris organ school, or an inspired composer whose unique, highly personal style – informed by the French line of composition and imbued with references from contemporary music – covers a broad spectrum of forms and genres.
Presented under the evocative title Mirror Dances, the evening’s programme takes us on a thrilling musical journey. Pairing the elaborate grandeur of the Baroque style with contemporary pieces, it is interspersed with the organist’s own compositions and masterful improvisations.

Fatoumata Diawara release Fenfo follow-up to her widely acclaimed debut Fatou. The album was coproduced by Diawara and Mattieu Chedid (better known by his stage name -M-). Hailed as one of the most vital standard-bearers of modern African music, Fatoumata takes her artistry to fresh and thrilling heights on her album Fenfo. It’s a record that defines her as the voice of young African womanhood – proud of her heritage but with a vision that looks confidently to the future making the Malian singer, songwriter, guitarist and acclaimed actress the most talked about new African artist of recent years. Fenfo is an album that has no borders. The modernity of stinging electric guitar lines combine with the ancient African strings of the kora and kamel ngoni and kit drums combine with the timeless rhythms of traditional percussion. The compositions of Fenfo cover the gamut of African styles, ancient and modern, from the slow-burning blues to the funk via the Afro-pop. Fatoumata has previously worked with biggest name’s of the contemporary music (Bobby Womack, Herbie Hancock, Damon Albarn’s, Snarky Puppy…); in the last two years she had played at the main Festivals and venues of Europe (Glastonbury, Montreaux Jazz Festival, Roskilde, Afrika Hertme Festival, Jazz a Vinenne, Olympia, Barbican, Oslo World Music Festival, Festival Cruilles, Colour Café, Rudolstadt Festival, La Mar de Musicas, Dromos Festival, Konserthuset Stockholm, Le Trianon, Muffathalle, Jazz Sous les Pommiers, and other major Festivals).

Programme:
Dmitri Shostakovich, Symphony No. 7 in C Major, Op. 60, “Leningrad”

A pan-European talent pool, Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester is the legacy of a visionary artist, the great conductor Claudio Abbado. It is an idealistic project that ensures the future of Europe's cultural heritage by investing into the next generation. Uncompromising both in his humanistic vision and the musical standards he wanted to achieve, Abbado made this orchestra an elite institution from the very beginning, thus solidifying its international recognition and making it highly sought-after among concert soloists. Abbado’s worthy successor, Daniele Gatti is the last in the long line of GMJO’s great conductors (from Pierre Boulez and Iván Fischer to Mariss Jansons and David Afkham). Music director of Teatro dell'Opera di Roma and Orchestra Mozart in Bologna, Gatti was presented with the 2015  Italian music critics’ Premio “Franco Abbiati” and awarded the Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur from the French Republic.

The orchestra, Ambassador of UNICEF Austria and winner of the prestigious European Cultural Foundation Award, stands apart from all other youth orchestras also in terms of repertoire. Its programmes are never mainstream, they are always engaging and demanding, and they follow thoroughly planned dramaturgical concepts: GMJO will undoubtedly display great maturity in confronting Shostakovich’s musical testament to the casualties of World War II, a symphonic work perfectly suited for this extremely large ensemble.

Nikolai Lugansky piano
Olivier Latry organ

Béla Bartók, The Miraculous Mandarin, suite, Op. 19, BB 82

Johannes Brahms, Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat Major, Op. 83

 
The impressive Orchestre symphonique de Montréal is the world’s only orchestra to have in its ranks the rare octobass (the largest and lowest-sounding instrument of the string family). The orchestra’s home is Maison symphonique de Montréal, a concert hall noted for its acoustic flexibility whose setting has been adapted to suit the orchestra's natural sound. Since 2006 the orchestra has been dazzling international audiences under the baton of its music director, Kent Nagano, a conductor of great precision and elegance.

The evening’s soloists are Nikolai Lugansky, an Honoured Artist of the Russian Federation (2019) and a pianist who combines elegance and grace with powerful virtuosity, as well as Olivier Latry, “2009 International Performer of the Year” (American Guild of Organists, New York), an artist counted among the most noted “improvisateurs” in the exceptional French tradition and devoted to exploring the broadest spectrum of organ repertoire.

The evening’s programme reflects the curiosity and breadth Kent Nagano is known for: bringing to life lesser-known and neglected works and re-evaluating the core repertoire of classical orchestral music.

Soloists: Franco Fagioli Oreste; Francesca Aspromonte Ifigenia; Francesca Ascioti Filotete; Julia Lezhneva Ermione; Krystian Adam Pilade; Renato Dolcini Toante

Programme
George F. Handel
Oreste, opera in three acts, HWV A11, concert performance

Handel’s operatic masterpiece Oreste is a stylistically coherent pastiche for which the composer assembled a collection of arias from his earlier operas and oratorios, binding the music seamlessly with the newly-written recitatives to create a new musical drama. This rarely performed work is tackled by a winning team: the enthusiastic Il Pomo d'oro, “Orchestra of the Year 2018” (Gramophone), charismatic and inspiring Maxim Emelyanychev, recipient of the prestigious “Newcomer of the Year 2019” opera award, and the brilliant countertenor Franco Fagioli, “Argentinian Singer of the Year” (2017).

The Ljubljana audiences’ darlings are returning in the company of great vocalists; Julia Lezhneva – whose music releases have won several prestigious awards (Echo Klassik, Muse d'Or, Diapason d'Or, etc.), and Francesca Aspromonte – a specialist in Baroque opera roles, as well as several rising stars in the operatic firmament who are rapidly establishing themselves as some of the most interesting young voices for the Baroque repertoire. 

Drawing on mythological material adapted from Euripides' tragedy, Handel's Oreste reimagines the famous story about matricidal antihero Orestes and his long lost sister Iphigenia, this time in a concert performance.

In compliance with the restrictive measures taken by the Government of RS to limit the second wave of the Coronavirus pandemic, Cankarjev dom has cancelled or rescheduled all events. All exhibitions are temporarily closed with the exception of Henri Cartier-Bresson: Tête à Tête to remain on view during regular opening hours. Entrance from Prešernova Street.
