Experience the magical interplay of strings and piano at the Auditorium Lo Squero on April 13, 2024, as part of the “Il filo di Fauré” cycle—a collaboration between Chapelle Musicale Reine Elisabeth, Asolo Musica, and Palazzetto Bru Zane. Immerse yourself in the concert titled “The Dawn of Careers”, an exquisite showcase featuring Hawijch Elders (violin), Natanael Ferreira (viola), Aleksey Shadrin (cello), and Frank Braley (piano), performing mesmerizing works for string trio and piano by Fauré and Enesco.
Gabriel Fauré, aged 35, unveiled his Piano Quartet No. 1 in 1880, marking an early milestone in his illustrious career. Thirty years later, at the youthful age of 28, his former student, Georges Enesco, crafted a piece for the same ensemble—an undeniable tribute to his mentor. Enesco’s Piano Quartet No. 2 serves as a poignant dedication to Fauré, echoing a profound connection between teacher and pupil. These compositions mirror the chamber music traditions of their time, reflecting the early careers of both composers in the realm of serious chamber music.
The concert presents an unparalleled opportunity to witness the evocative synergy between these two remarkable pieces—a testament to the evolution of musical prowess during pivotal stages of the composers’ lives. The piano quartet genre, less exposed than the string quartet, provided a canvas for broader musical explorations, allowing for intricate forms to be embraced with fluidity and grace.
Join us for an evening steeped in musical brilliance, as these prodigious musicians breathe life into the timeless compositions of Fauré and Enesco. Let their harmonious melodies paint a vivid portrait of the dawn of their illustrious careers in the captivating world of chamber music.
