A fitting farewell for Leif Ove Andsnes' Rosendal Chamber Music Festival: imaginative programming and excellent performances in an inspiring setting. 

Sixteen of the finest string players around join forces on one stage to end the East Neuk Festival in a grand finale. 

A concert of Mendelssohn and Enescu octets which proves that eight can be more than four plus four.

Sometimes you just marvel at the level of musical inspiration and the virtuosic quality of the playing. The two octets by Mendelssohn and Enescu make a very satisfying pairing.

Violin dealers J & A Beare celebrate its 130th anniversary in lavish style by bringing together eight of the Cremona luthier’s exceptional instruments for a concert directed by Dutch violinist, Janine Jansen.

Warm Borodin and energetic Mendelssohn from the ECO players in an online experience which lacked occasion.

Réunis par La Belle Saison, les deux ensembles se sont parfaitement harmonisés dans un beau Quatuor de Bacewicz et un formidable Octuor de Mendelssohn... au risque de lisser les aspérités de La Nuit transfigurée.

Elle s'était distinguée pendant le premier confinement en interprétant à elle seule l'Octuor de Mendelssohn : la violoniste suédoise Malin Broman retrouve son public et des partenaires pour un concert réjouissant.

Co-directeur artistique du festival haut-savoyard, le Quatuor Modigliani partage la scène de la Grange au Lac avec le jeune Quatuor Mona pour un concert complice.

À quelques jets de pierre de Genève, le Festival de Bellerive a proposé, ce 12 juillet, un concert donné par un éphémère mais éclatant ensemble de musique de chambre.
