Violinist, teacher, author of short stories and novels, the Polish Grazyna Bacewicz is above all recognized as an important composer who leaves a rich and varied catalog. This monographic concert will allow us to become better acquainted with her work.

The Trio for oboe, violin and cello dates from her neoclassical period. Written partly in Paris in 1935 at the time when she was working with Nadia Boulanger, it is marked by a certain insouciance and marks an important stage in the composer's evolution.

Composed in 1942 in occupied Poland, the Suite for two violins is surprisingly sunny with its seven short movements in a harmony oscillating between a neo-baroque writing spiced with a few touches of modernity.

Written ten years later, the Quintet for piano and strings No. 1 speaks a completely different language. It is a very personal work traversed by an intense and painful lyricism.
