Lena Kravets & Tobias Kassung - „La lumière du sud"

Lena Kravets & Tobias Kassung at Palais Wittgenstein

In 2011, Lena Kravets and Tobias Kassung established their duo in the Cologne Classical Ensemble. With the rare combination of cello and guitar, they develop very individual programs and delight audiences in numerous concerts throughout Germany. Their new album "La lumière du sud - the light of the south" is dedicated entirely to the masters of French music and is currently enchanting listeners.

The vastness of the French coast, the high, blue sky and the special light have always inspired French artists to create special works of art. In music, too, lightness merges with southern flair and the French way of life. Great impressionists such as Claude Debussy and Gabriel Fauré meet the baroque master Marin Marais and the contemporary Parisian composer Mathias Duplessy, who wonderfully combines French lightness with flamenco and Brazilian bossa nova. Tobias Kassung's self-written piece "Capriccio à la lumière du sud" - a homage to the tango and the light of the south - forms a bracket in the program.
