This concert showcases the versatility of the bassoon - from solo performances to chamber ensembles and large concert forms. The audience can expect a rich program featuring music from different eras and styles, where one instrument reveals itself in various combinations. The bassoon rarely takes center stage in a large concert evening, which makes this program particularly appealing. It is built around an instrument with a rich, recognizable timbre, capable of sounding both strict and lyrical, and almost theatrical. The program is structured so that the listener hears the bassoon in several roles at once. It will be heard solo, accompanied by piano, in an ensemble of homogeneous instruments, and in a duet with clarinet. One evening transforms into a comprehensive portrait of the instrument, showcasing its lyrical qualities, noble depth, and agility. For those interested in classical music, this is an opportunity to hear a repertoire that is not often performed, presented in a thoughtful and diverse manner. The program features works by Bach, Vanhall, Marcello, Bruns, Poulenc, Rachmaninoff, and Prokofiev. The baroque line coexists here with 20th-century chamber music and arrangements of well-known compositions for a bassoon quartet. Notably, the Sonata by Francis Poulenc for clarinet and bassoon stands out as one of the significant works in the chamber repertoire of the last century. Thanks to such a program, the concert will be interesting for both those who love familiar names and those who wish to discover new pages of bassoon literature. Special attention is given to the performers. The concert features Nikita Komarov, Alexander Shevchenko, Grigory Lebedev, Anna Shulga, Maxim Kostiuk, Timofey Kalmykov, Alisa Mercury, Nikita Shchegolk and the quartet "Fagottorum" (Fagottorum).
