Intérprete: Vladimir Mendelssohn

Baritone Jaakko Koretkangas and pianist Nino Gvetadze prove the stars of an evening of great variety ending with a thrilling scene from an obscure Hindemith opera.

An introductory reading by local writer Philip Pullman was an appropriate introduction to the “Dusk to Dawn” concert, one of the last in this year’s Oxford Chamber Music Festival (themed “Fairytales and Fantasy”). The collision of a light-hearted surface with darker undertones was not just in Pullman’s retelling of the Grimm stories, but pervaded Artistic Director Priya Mitchell’s programming.

Following the passing last year of Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival's much loved Artistic Director Vladimir Mendelssohn, the violinist couple tell us about taking charge, working together and their plans for the future.

Whatever your level of musical experience, there is no way that you will know all the music on the programme at Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival!
