Music and other art forms
The Dialogues entre les Arts association brings together music, painting, poetry and architecture through musical interventions, projections of works of art and presentations.
Bach's Sonatas for oboe and piano are notoriously difficult to access. To compensate for this, Dialogues entre les Arts has decided to combine these magnificent pieces with contemporary works to give the public a better understanding of this part of Johann Sebastian Bach's repertoire. On November 19, the Leipzig Cantor will rub shoulders with Arnold Schönberg, painter Paul Klee and architect Daniel Libeskind. This combination is no accident: Libeskind, who studied music in his youth, refers to Schönberg, for example.
Dialogues entre les Arts offers concerts like no other. Based on the idea that different forms of artistic expression often evolve in parallel, this duo of a pianist (Meglena Tzaneva) and an art historian (Eva Kouvandjieva) brings them into dialogue during exceptional evenings. The visual and pictorial works are projected so that the audience can apprehend them at first hand, while the lecturer puts the music, painting and architecture into context, punctuated by musical interventions. This is, after all, a concert. But the pieces take on a new dimension thanks to the commentary, which leads to a mutual clarification of the different art forms. Audiences wishing to admire the work of the artists in question in real life will also be able to do so, as Dialogues entre les Arts makes a point of presenting works that can be seen in the region, in this case at the Paul Klee Center in Bern, or in Brünnen to explore the Westside shopping and leisure center designed by Daniel Libeskind.
Saturday, November 19, 6pm, at L'Abri, Place de la Madeleine 1, Geneva, free admission.
