Le duo Ana Almeida et Ian Ji propose un programme minimaliste, introduit par Spiegel im Spiegel etFratres d’Arvo Pärt, des œuvres au caractère mystique où pureté et
simplicité sont au cœur de l’expression musicale.
Le concert se conclut avec la Sonate pour violon de Philip Glass, l’un des compositeurs contemporains les plus influents, reconnu pour son style musical répétitif et méditatif.
Cette sonate vous entraîne dans un voyage à travers des instants fugaces, avec une construction et une déconstruction progressives.
Ian and Ana met during their studies at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel. Their strong friendship and shared passion for minimalist music led to the creation of their violin and piano duo.
