This program, featuring Ensemble Lumen, delves into the interplay of sound and emotion, showcasing how composers use chamber music to express a spectrum of colours and textures. Beginning with Nadia Boulanger’s Trois Pièces, a trio of lyrical vignettes that reflect the refined charm of early 20th-century French music. Bartók’s Contrasts, written for Benny Goodman, blends jazz and Hungarian folk traditions in a dynamic and spirited exchange of ideas. To conclude, Brahms’s Horn Trio unfolds as a rich, soulful dialogue, filled with warmth, depth, and moments of striking beauty.
