PERFECT HAPPINESS? | Music from Germany

David Petersen – Bassoon
Lilit Grigoryan – Piano

September 11 (Friday) | 19:00

Philharmonia | Babajanyan Concert Hall

Professor at the Rostock University of Music and Theatre, pianist Lilit Grigoryan, together with David Petersen, principal bassoon of the Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig, present a concert program based on their collaborative album “Perfect Happiness?”

The question mark in “Perfect Happiness?” is not accidental: the title of the fifth piece from Schumann’s Scenes from Childhood becomes a point of departure for an artistic exploration, raising the question of where perfect happiness begins.

Program:

Robert Schumann – Scenes from Childhood, Op. 15
Theodor Kirchner – New Scenes from Childhood, Op. 55
Ignaz Moscheles – Grand Duo Concertant, Op. 34
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy – Songs Without Words, Sonata No. 1, Op. 45, in a version for Bassoon and Piano
