What is classical music, what is popular? In this programme, Camerata presents two composers (Ravel & Piazzolla) with two different backgrounds, facing each other.

About the concert:

While Maurice Ravel began as a classical musician, the starting point of Astor Piazzolla was popular music (Tango). However, they were both interested in other music styles. Ravel was mainly influenced by popular music and music from around the world. While Piazzolla was impressed by the classical music in his travels to the US and especially when he went to Paris.

Programme: Ravel & Piazzolla

In this programme of Ravel, the following pieces will be performed: His violin and cello sonata and the Sonatina for piano, in a string orchestra arrangement made for this special occasion. By Piazzolla, Camerata will present a selection of his Tangos for bandoneon.

Solist: Andreas Rokseth.

After the concert the audience will be able to draw its own conclusions about what classical music is, and what must be considered as popular music. And how thin (or thick) is the line that separates one from another.
