About this event

This is a concert program built around works for strings, with Amsterdam Sinfonietta joined by violinists Malin Broman and Liza Ferschtman and cellist Tim Posner. The central reference is Leoš Janáček's String Quartet no. 2, whose title comes from the composer's intimate correspondence with Kamila Stösslová. The program also introduces Reza Namavar's new violin concerto, Tahanea, in a world-premiere performance with Liza Ferschtman. The program proceeds from Gesualdo's string-quintet version of Moro lasso and Vivaldi's concerto for two violins and cello to Namavar's Tahanea, Janáček's Intimate Letters, and Weinberg's Rhapsody on a Moldavian Theme. Malin Broman is credited as director and violinist, Liza Ferschtman as violinist, and Tim Posner as cellist. The presentation is a concert rather than a staged dramatic production.
