But the music goes on: Francesco Piemontesi will be joined by two extraordinary musicians, the acclaimed violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja and the French-American cellist Sonia Wieder-Atherton. The fully revised program features three masterpieces: Debussy’s Cello Sonata, Schumann’s Violin Sonata No. 2, and Shostakovich’s Trio in E minor.
An evening promising intensity, lyricism, and virtuosity, turning an unexpected change into a memorable musical experience. This concert also marks Francesco Piemontesi’s farewell as Artistic Director of the Settimane Musicali.
