Opening Gala Concert

It all begins here. Over three concert weekends we follow Beethoven's life and artistic development. The Engegårdkvartetten opens the Trilogi festival with String Quartet No. 1, Op. 18 No. 1, together with top-class musicians from Norway and abroad - several of whom you can also experience at the opening gala concert. The programme offers everything from variations on a theme from Mozart's The Magic Flute, performed by the young talents Fredrik Heistø Carlsen and Nikita Khnykin, to Piano Trio Op. 1 No. 3, in which Beethoven's extraordinary talent is already clearly evident. We also get a welcome reunion with Dénes Várjon in the legendary Moonlight Sonata. A warm welcome to the festival! Programme: String Quartet No. 1 in F major, Op. 18 No. 1 - Engegårdkvartetten Piano Sonata No. 14, Op. 27 No. 2 “Moonlight Sonata” - Dénes Várjon Seven Variations on “Bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen” by Mozart, WoO 46 (1801), for cello and piano - Fredrik Heistø Carlsen & Nikita Khnykin Piano Trio in C minor, Op. 1 No. 3 - Dénes Várjon, Maria Włoszczowska & Amy Norrington
