Description
Chopin’s composing genius often makes us forget that he was also a talented pedagogue. This year’s festival in Paris will emphasize his achievements in this area, by paying tribute to both Chopin-pianist and Chopin-pedagogue. Besides traditional piano recitals, candlelit concerts and appearances of young pianists, the festival will feature three conferences devoted to Impromptu no. 2 by Chopin, his pedalling technique and the history of Prelude from Bach to Chopin and beyond.
On Saturday, June 16 the festival will kick off with a recital by Cyprien Katsaris, whose performance will include a piece by Jean-Michel Damase dedicated to the late Germaine Mounier, a distinguished French pianist and pedagogue. On Saturday, July 14 the festival will conclude with an appearance by Bruno Rigutto. The program will feature music by Chopin, Bach, Schumann and Ravel.
Performers will include, among others, Akiko Ebi, Abdel Rahman El Bacha, Jean-Marc Luisada, Igor Tchetuev, Philippe Cassard, Roustem Saitkoulov and Laurent Cabasso.
