Sylviane Bourban (mezzo-soprano), Iris Ewald-Tillner (violin) and Nadia Bacchetta (organ, piano) present a moving concert about the power of love - with works from Bach to the present day.
"Your love is like water, like fire,
the waves engulf me, the flames consume me."
Sylviane Bourban (mezzo-soprano), Iris Ewald-Tillner (violin) and Nadia Bacchetta (organ & piano) follow the traces of this power. Their music tells of expectation, closeness and the moments in which a new life begins.
The program combines works from the Baroque, Romantic and contemporary periods. Johann Sebastian Bach's aria "Bereite dich, Zion" from the Christmas Oratorio combines voice and obbligato instrumental part with the sound world of the Baroque. Robert Schumann's song "An meinem Herzen, an meiner Brust" is exemplary of the romantic art of song in the 19th century. Music by Gustav Holst for voice and violin is accompanied by English music from the early 20th century. The works "Love" by Afghan-American composer Juhi Bansal and "His voice as the sound of the dulcimer sweet" by Jennifer Road add contemporary sound languages to the program. "A Nordic Tale" by Swiss composer Jonathan Stich completes the program with a current compositional position.
As always, the cozy Chilebistro opens at 6.30 pm and invites you to arrive and linger. After the concert, a small sweet surprise awaits the audience.
