Agnese Ferraro and Veronica Cattarossi: UN SIÈCLE EN ROSE

A century crossed by a different, necessary look, finally listening. Un siècle en rose is a journey through French music between the 19th and 20th centuries, built around the voices of some of the most significant European composers, who for a long time remained on the margins of the repertoire and today are increasingly recognised for their originality and expressive force.
The programme juxtaposes pages written between 1850 and 1951, restoring the variety of languages and sensibilities that spanned a century of profound changes. From the formal and luminous solidity of Louise Farrenc's Sonata No. 2 in A major op. 39, to the brilliance of the Capriccio op. 18 by Cécile Chaminade, to the evocative, iridescent writing of Lili Boulanger, with her soundscapes suspended between impression and movement.
The journey finds a synthesis in the Second Sonata for Violin and Piano by Germaine Tailleferre, the only composer in the Groupe des Six, in which elegance, clarity and a modern spirit come together in a minimal and lively writing style.
Giving voice to this itinerary are Agnese Ferraro on violin and Monica Cattarossi on piano.
A concert that is both rediscovery and restitution: not an “alternative” repertoire, but an indispensable part of European musical history, capable of speaking with freshness and intensity to the present.
