Queen's Delight Part II
Jonathan Fournel, Timothy Chooi, Aleksey Shadrin, Eva Zaïcik, Severin von Eckardstein
Did you know that the Queen Elisabeth Competition originally started as a contest for violin and piano? Singing was added in 1988, while the cello only followed in 2017. The second part of Queen’s Delight pays tribute to all four disciplines of the competition. The concert opens with Felix Mendelssohn’s popular Piano Trio No. 1. Then mezzo-soprano Eva Zaïcik, winner of the 2nd Prize in 2018, makes her return to Studio 4 with Richard Wagner’s passionate Wesendonck-Lieder.
Queen Elisabeth was born 150 years ago, a monarch with a warm heart for music and culture. Her name lives on in the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Competition, which has been launching leading musical talents for decades. We are celebrating this anniversary with a reunion that is already historic: ten of the most iconic laureates are gathering for one day at Flagey. They will fill the building with violin, cello, piano and singing, in various constellations.
