Leonidas Kavakos, Daniil Trifonov, James Ehnes & George Li all perform at Montreux’s Septembre Musical in September.
Both Kavakos and Trifonov join the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Artistic Director and Principal Conductor Charles Dutoit. Kavakos plays the Brahms Violin Concerto on 27 August, and Trifonov is soloist for Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2 the following evening, 28 August.
James Ehnes and George Li perform solo recitals. Ehnes performs Bach’s solo Sonatas and Partitas over two concerts on 29 August – his third and fourth performances of solo Bach in two days, after performing the programme at the Stresa Festival the day before.
On 1 September, George Li performs a programme of Haydn, Chopin, Rachmaninov and Liszt. The recital follows soon after his “sensational” (Herald) Edinburgh International Festival debut.
Septembre Musical takes place annually in Montreux and Vevey in Switzerland, featuring international orchestras and chamber music. It works in collaboration with the Verbier Festival Academy to highlight the next generation of artists.
