Souvenirs des Alpes – Maurice Steger & Friends
Chamber Music
Friday, 17 August 2018
7.30 pm, Zweisimmen Church
One can always count on Maurice Steger (flauto dolce) to offer a colorful and original concert programme. Riding on the theme of this year’s Festival, he has put together a brilliant collection of Alpine works for flauto dolce, digging up rare pages from the Baroque (such as the voyage from Italy to Bavaria by Telemann), but also pearls from folk music from the Swiss Canton of Tessin as well as an “Alpine Suite” by Benjamin Britten written during a stay in Switzerland in 1956… “to fill the time while recovering from a broken leg”!
