„Die Kompromisslosen“ Works by Grazyna Bacewicz (1909-1969) and Amy Beach (1867-1944) Despite prohibitions for private or political reasons, these two great women composers never gave up composing. For the American Amy Beach (1867-1944), only a life as a musician was ever in question. And as America's first woman, she campaigned for women's suffrage. Meet Grażyna Bacewicz (1909-1969), the first woman in Poland to achieve international fame as a composer. Despite socialist censorship or difficulties in a conservative society, she composed a diverse oeuvre with "inexhaustible inventiveness." Program: Fanny Hensel: Romance (from String Quartet in E-flat major) Grazyna Bacewicz: String Quartet No. 4 (1909-1969) Amy Beach: Piano quintet op. 67 Szymanowski – Quartet Agata Szymczewska, Violin Kana Sugimura, Violin Volodia Mykytka, Viola Karol Marianowski, Violoncello Katharina Sellheim, piano Concert introduction: Julia Meyer-Hermann More Information
"The Passionate Ones" Works by Louise Farrenc, Mel Bonis and Snežana Nešić. Louise Farrenc (1804-1875) was a composer, professor, editor, and pianist. Raised as the daughter of a pair of sculptors, "liberté, egalité, and fraternité" were crucial to her as she campaigned at the Paris Conservatoire to receive the same fees as her male colleagues. Her chances on the marriage market were to be improved, so Mel Bonis (1858-1937) took composition lessons - from none other than Claude Debussy and César Franck. She had a child out of wedlock and continued composing undeterred despite everything. Her works have been performed by great contemporary interpreters. Accordionist, conductor and composer Snežana Nešić (*1972) studied at the Academy of Music "P.I. Tchaikovsky" in Kiev and at the HMTM Hannover. Her art is " collectivist", and very individualistic she sets interpersonal communication to music in order to "sharpen eyes and ears". Program: Louise Farrenc - Sonata for Violin and Piano No.2, Op.39 Snezana Nesic - Solnce Odno String Trio (2004/2007) Mel Bonis - Piano Quartet Flex-Ensemble Kana Sugimura, Violine Anna Szulc, Viola Martha Bijlsma, Violoncello Johannes Nies, Klavier Concert introduction: Julia Meyer-Hermann
"The Indomitable." Works by Rebecca Clarke, Emilie Mayer and Marina Baranova Emilie Mayer (1812-1873) was the first professional composer, the "female Beethoven" - at a time when no woman in Germany could make a living from composing. Vice-principal of the Berlin Opera Academy and honorary member of the Munich Philharmonic Society, she composed symphonies for large orchestras and a large number of songs and chamber works that were performed throughout Europe. Marina Baranova (*1981) is of Ukrainian origin and impressively sets emotional worlds to music for her fellow citizens in Kharkiv. Situated in Germany, she does her utmost for them, and not only musically. Program: Rebecca Clarke: Sonata for viola and piano Emilie Mayer: Piano Trio in D minor Marina Baranova: Requiem Klaviertrio Hannover Lucja Madziar – Violin Konstantin Sellheim – Viola Johannes Krebs – Violoncello Katharina Sellheim, piano Concert introduction: Julia Meyer -Hermann
