About

The final evening of the festival gathers flutes, piccolo, harp, cello, clarinet, darbuka, and a symphony orchestra on one stage, turning the concert into a large-scale demonstration of timbral freedom. Baroque, contemporary music, transcriptions, and original compositions come together here in a bright, dynamic, and truly festive program. The closing of the festival is structured as a spectacular conclusion to a grand musical journey, where timbre, virtuosity, and freedom of combinations play the main role. On one stage, the flute, piccolo, harp, cello, clarinet, darbuka, and symphony orchestra meet, and the program itself is designed to showcase as wide a range of colors and performance possibilities as possible. For the listener, this is especially interesting: the evening is not limited to one style or one era, but moves from baroque clarity to contemporary compositions, from chamber delicacy to open concert brilliance. Featured are Kwanza, Vivaldi, Sibelius, Leo Weiner, Martin Romberg, Edward Kipersky, and Roni Barak. This selection gives the concert a rare internal mobility. Kwanza's concerto for two flutes sets an elegant and transparent line, Romberg's piece for piccolo, clarinet, and string orchestra brings a modern sound, while Weiner's romance for cello and harp works on a softer, lyrical register. The program then shifts scale again: Vivaldi's concerto for piccolo demands sharpness and brilliance, "Elegiac Concertino" for harp and strings adds another type of intonation, and Roni Barak's compositions for darbuka with the orchestra lead the evening to rhythmic energy and a different timbral layer. Particular interest is also aroused by the transcription of Sibelius's violin concerto for flute. This decision immediately changes the familiar optics: the well-known piece is perceived in a new way, and the listener has the opportunity to hear how the flute copes with material usually associated with a different instrumental character. This is one of the strong points of the final concert - it constantly offers a blend of styles and sounds.
