AMIRA ABOUZAHRA / MARIAM ABOUZAHRA / JULIEN QUENTIN
Amira Abouzahra, violinist and violist, joins forces with her sister Mariam Abouzahra on violin for a programme centred on the dialogue between string instruments. Accompanied by pianist Julien Quentin, they explore a repertoire rich in contrasts, from the dazzling virtuosity of Eugène Ysaÿe to the expressive depth of Zoltán Kodály, through the great Romantic tradition of Richard Strauss. The concert concludes with Leó Weiner’s Divertimento, a work infused with Hungarian colours, where the two violins and piano engage in a lively and spirited musical exchange.
