Sold out! BONN: Duo Kravets-Kassung

Kammermusiksaal im Beethoven-Haus Bonn, Bonngasse 24-26, 53111 Bonn

The Norbert and Mechthild Kleinheyer Foundation invites you to a festive New Year's Eve concert in the Chamber Music Hall of the Beethovenhaus in Bonn on New Year's Eve afternoon. Lena Kravets and Tobias Kassung will perform their wonderful French programme as well as a small homage to the great composer of this place: Ludwig van Beethoven. 

The programme "La lumière du sud - the light of the south" is primarily dedicated to the masters of French music. The vastness of the French coast, the high, blue sky and the special light have always inspired French artists to create special works of art. In music, too, lightness merges with southern flair and the French way of life. Great impressionists such as Claude Debussy and Gabriel Fauré meet the baroque master Marin Marais and the contemporary Parisian composer Mathias Duplessy, who marvellously combines French lightness with flamenco and Brazilian bossa nova. The programme is rounded off by the piece "Capriccio à la lumière du sud", written by Tobias Kassung himself - a homage to the tango and the light of the south.

This concert is a charity concert organised by the Norbert and Mechthild Kleinheyer Foundation. The proceeds will be used to support the studies of our young Ukrainian artist, whom we and the Norbert and Mechthild Kleinheyer Foundation have been helping since 2022.
