Intermission

Vaughan Williams: Piano Quintet in C minor

--

This concert pairs the voices of a master and his student, bound by music and fate. César Franck, one of the great figures of 19th-century French music, was admired for the warmth and lyricism of his works.

Guillaume Lekeu, Franck’s devoted pupil, carried his teacher’s spirit into his own music. Intensely sincere and full of restless energy, Lekeu poured his whole heart into every bar he wrote. But his life was heartbreakingly short: he died of typhoid fever at just 24. His Piano Trio, completed in those few brief years, shines as a moving testament to both his talent and his promise.

Placed side by side, the trios of Franck and Lekeu are more than just beautiful music—they are the story of a torch passed from teacher to student, a musical conversation across a single, too-short lifetime.
