CANCELLED – Clairières dans le ciel

Concert cancelled due to sickness.

I write and the countryside resonates with joy

In this concert Elisaveta Rimkevitch and Niina Ranta dive deep into the art of French music and present one of the hidden gems of the early 20th century: Lili Boulanger lived a short existence, yet one filled with a burning passion for art.

The program includes all of Boulanger’s compositions for solo piano and the great cycle of 13 songs, Clairières dans le ciel (Clearings in the sky) – one of the most important French song cycles, rarely performed in Finland.

Prélude en Ré bémol (1911)

Trois morceaux pour piano (1914)

Thème et variations (1915)

Clairières dans le ciel (1914), song cycle on poems by Francis Jammes
