Lidiya Kovalenko's violin program reveals unexpected connections between the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, Eugene Ysaye, Iannis Xenakis, and Philip Glass. The program connects history and modernity. Lidiya Kovalenko's program is dedicated to the subtle links between the works of composers separated by time, countries, and different musical approaches. At the center of the evening is the search for resonances between the compositions of Johann Sebastian Bach, Eugene Ysaye, Iannis Xenakis, and Philip Glass, showing how the ideas of one author can continue to live in the work of another. The foundation of the program consists of sonatas for violin. Lidiya Kovalenko views them as a chain of musical dialogues: from Bach's first sonata to Ysaye's first sonata, created under the impression of Joseph Szigeti's performance. A special place is occupied by the works of Ysaye and Glass. The minimalist music of the American composer unfolds alongside the dramatic pages of Ysaye's violin cycle, allowing different ways of working with repetition, movement, and internal tension to be heard. Another line of the program connects Ysaye's fifth sonata with Xenakis's piece "Mikka," where the complex musical language of the composer is revealed through a lyrical beginning. Lidiya Kovalenko is a violinist, concertmaster, and soloist of the "Divertissement" chamber orchestra, a graduate of the Saint Petersburg Conservatory. In her performance, the program becomes an exploration of personal and artistic connections that help to view the history of music in a new light. Find other events in Moscow on KUDAGO.
