Pianorama – French Masters
Roland Pöntinen plays Saint-Saëns, Fauré and Ravel.
Pianorama is a festival featuring piano in the lead role in all concerts. This year, we explore Paris, France during the three-day festival.
The founder and artistic director of Pianorama is Roland Pöntinen, who also participates with several of Sweden’s leading pianists, including established performers as well as rising stars. In addition, we hear the Royal Wind Quintet Stockholm, with musicians from the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Royal Swedish Orchestra, as well as some of Sweden’s most prominent string musicians.
The soloist at this inaugural concert is Roland Pöntinen. Under the heading of French masters, he presents works by some of France’s most significant composers: Camille Saint-Saëns, Gabriel Fauré and Maurice Ravel.
