The related musical event is Counterpoints and Dialogues: a journey between Bach and the 20th century. A musical journey through eras and styles comes to life in this concert, which intertwines the contrapuntal perfection of Johann Sebastian Bach with the refined lyricism of Jean-Marie Leclair and Pietro Domenico Paradisi. The two-part inventions, the famous Badinerie and the depth of Bach's Suites and Sonatas dialogue with the virtuosic brilliance of Halvorsen's Passacaglia and the expressive intensity of Ravel's Sonata. A programme that enhances the dialogue between violin and cello, in a continuous play of contrasts between classicism and modernity.
