Concert with Jesper René

Last autumn we had the great pleasure of a visit from the pianist Jesper René, who interpreted Debussy’s Préludes most beautifully. It was a lovely concert with many happy concertgoers. That is why we are delighted to invite you once more to an evening in the company of Jesper René. This time to the sound of Tchaikovsky’s The Seasons. The Seasons is an atmospheric piano cycle of twelve character pieces, one for each month. With great melodic invention and poetic sensitivity, Tchaikovsky depicts the turning of the year, from the quiet reflection of winter to the light of summer and the more melancholy colours of autumn. The music alternates between the virtuosic and the intimate and gives a vivid insight into the composer’s special ability to unite feeling, mood of nature and storytelling in notes. The Seasons is among Tchaikovsky’s best-loved piano works and continues to fascinate audiences with its warm and lyrical beauty. About Jesper René: The pianist Jesper René is one of the busiest Danish pianists of his generation. He is especially known for playing Bach’s keyboard music all over the Danish Realm - from Gedser to Greenland and from Flensburg to the Faroe Islands - but his repertoire is large and varied. It stretches from Beethoven and Brahms to Schubert and Chopin - and this evening to Tchaikovsky.
