Tabea Zimmermann, alto & Javier Perianes, piano

An international tour brings this outstanding chamber duo to Montréal. Their programme is both fiery and contemplative, spanning more than a century of music for viola and piano from 1849 to 1975. In that year, Shostakovich composed his Sonata, for which he drew upon his last ounces of strength in order to complete it one month before his death.
