Masterclass 

for Viola, Violin, Cello and Chamber Music from Monday 29 October to 03 November 2018

​

Four years ago Journées Musicales Mondorf presented its first international strings masterclass, and now in our 2018 edition we are proud to  present a masterclass  whose theme is the influence of rom and sinti music.  We are also very excited to share with you the music festival "Au coeur des faubourgs" organized by Neimënster in collaboration with the Journées Musicales that will take place the weekend before the start of the masterclass.

​

Sandrine Cantoreggi, Ludwig Müller, (violin) Petra Vahle (viola and chamber music) and Manuel Fischer-Dieskau (cello) come specially to Mondorf  for a week to share and work on the various technical aspects of the instrument as well as the interpretation with young musicians of all ages and all countries. Classes take place in the brand new music school of Mondorf and accommodation possibilities are offered to participants at the "Le Paris" hotel in Mondorf.

 

The festival "Au coeur des faubourgs" the weekend before the Masterclass, will be held on the 26, 27 & 28 October where you will discover 4 exceptional concerts  around Sinti and Rom music and its influences in jazz and classical music.

 

On Friday 26/10, the soloists and guest professors of the Masterclass will take you on the roads of the music with the extraordinary expressive strength of the gypsy trio of Haydn, Gypsy of Ravel, and The Final "alla Zingara" of Brahms's No. 1 Quartet with Piano. The participants of the Masterclass will have the opportunity to discover their teachers on stage and the influence on the so-called "classical" musicians of gypsy music. A nice introduction to their masterclass week.

​

Saturday 27/10, Gilles Apap and the Meduoteran ensemble will make you vibrate to the rhythm of the diversity of the music of the Roma and Sinti peoples of Eastern and Southern Europe, from flamenco to sevillanas. Described by Yehudi Menuhin as ’’A true violinist of the 21st century’’, Gilles is known for his virtuosity, unique approach to music and the skill to bring joy to every concert hall. He delivers distinctive performances of the standard classical repertoire combined with genres such as jazz and folk from around the world and the result is unique programming merging the borderlines between musical styles.He teaches violin in Santa Barbara (United States). On Monday 29/10, the public as well as the musicians enrolled in the Masterclass will have the opportunity to participate in a workshop presented by Gilles Apap around the violin and its jazz and gypsy repertoire.

​

Sunday 28/10, The Aron Quartet will perform masterpieces of classical music influenced by gypsy folk music from Central Europe, from Haydn to Brahms. Founded in 1998 by four Viennese musicians, the Aron Quartet quickly became one of the great string quartets of its generation.
