Join us for the grand finale of the festival at Syddansk Musikkonservatorium in Esbjerg on Sunday, 25th August 2024 at 4 pm, featuring a lineup of internationally renowned musicians. The concert begins with Mozart’s String Quintet in C Major, K. 515, composed during a prolific period between “The Marriage of Figaro” and “Don Giovanni.” This piece showcases Mozart’s skill in blending intricate musical and emotional narratives. Following Mozart, Ravel’s Sonata for Violin and Cello offers a pioneering interplay between the two instruments, reflecting the innovative spirit of Les Apaches, a group that challenged conservative artistic norms. The festival concludes with Brahms’s String Sextet No. 2 in G major, Op. 36, a piece that not only wraps the audience in its rich romantic textures but also exemplifies Brahms’s impassioned Romanticism.

This concert showcases a stellar lineup of internationally acclaimed musicians, including violinists Maria Wloszczowska, Pablo Hernán Benedí, and Tim Crawford; violists Michel Camille and Hélène Clément; and cellists Pau Codina and Eddie Pogossian.
