Gabriel Fauré - Fin de Siècle

Influenced by Wagner but also by the Parisian tradition of Chopin and Liszt, Fauré wrote music that can be seen as a transition from the late German Romanticism of Brahms to the French Impressionism of Debussy. He composed song cycles based on lyrics written by Jean de La Ville de Mirmont, Victor Hugo, Paul Verlaine and more.

Sodi Braide (piano, UK/France) is one of the performers for this concert and he will be giving the masterclass. He is a British-Nigerian cosmopolitan pianist and won prices in some of the most prestigious competitions such as Leeds (UK) and Van Cliburn (USA). He currently works as an assistant professor at the École normale de musique de Paris-Alfred Cortot.

Ingrid Schoenlaub (cello, France), Lionel Von Lawrence (baritone, Germany/UK) and Tal Walker (piano, Israel) will also perform.

The concert will take place at De Zwarte Panter in Antwerp, the oldest - still running - art gallery in Flanders, located in a 14th century building.
