Mel Bonis the French composer known for her captivating chamber music.
"Scènes de la forêt" showcases Bonis' ability to capture the beauty and enchantment of nature through her music. Meanwhile, Kodaly stands as a notable figure in Hungarian culture of the 20th century, with an exceptional reputation to match. Schubert's iconic Trout Quintet, a beloved composition, was last performed and filmed at the Esbjerg Festival in 2013. No other performance has drawn more viewers in the world.

In the summer of 2002, the Danish String Quartet
Made its debut at a grand festival in Copenhagen,
Their music, both classical and folk,
Has earned them a place in hearts, a cherishin'.
With a touch of Nordic tradition in their strings,
And a modern flair in their harmony,
They have collaborated with composers of the North,
To weave a tapestry of symphonic poetry.

Lili Boulanger was Nadia's younger sister whom Nadia considered more talented than herself. Lili was recognized as a child prodigy and pursued a life as a gifted composer. Sadly, she was plagued with poor health from a young age that ultimately claimed her life at the tragically young age of 24.

Ernő Dohnányi is apt to be the greatest composer you have never heard. He is celebrated as the "greatest" Hungarian "musician" after Franz Liszt, great because his musicianship encompassed his diversity of profound gifts as a epic concert pianist, tireless conductor, superb composer, educator, administrator and ambassador that essentially encapsulated the entirely of Hungarian classical music culture for decades leading up to WWII.
