Beethoven, Fauré and Dutilleux
June 1st 2025 at 09:45 – 10:45
An exceptional instrumental ensemble, the flute, bassoon, and piano trio offers a unique sonic richness with the ability to explore a wide range of musical styles. Taking pride of place in this concert: Beethoven’s Trio for Flute, Bassoon, and Piano, one of the most important works for this ensemble! Composed at the age of just 15, it demonstrates the composer’s freedom in his search for himself and the immense field of experimentation he opened up. Thus, from Schubert’s Impromptu to Dutilleux’s wartime work, reliable repertoire values and rarer pieces intertwine and respond to Beethoven’s masterpiece. Gaëlle Habert and Gilles Bréda, both musicians of the Orchestre National des Pays de la Loire, with the help of pianist Lise Khatib, offer us a captivating and unforgettable musical experience here, in trio, duo, or solo.

An American dream: Dvořák’s ode to the US and Bernstein’s gritty portrait of New York frame a new concerto.

We turn next to New York-born composer Lowell Liebermann, whose 2023 Flute Concerto No 2 has been lauded for its tunefulness and fizzing energy, and finally Dvořák and his epic hymn to the vast and infinite beauty of rural America.
Gareth Davies, the LSO’s Principal Flute, takes to the stage for Liebermann’s concerto, all conducted by one of today’s most dynamic and engaging conductors, Anja Bihlmaier.
