Nicholas Slonimsky wrote to me in July 1969 that "Borovsky was my second cousin; his mother's name was Vengerova, the same last name as my mother's and my aunt's, the well-known piano pedagogue, Isabelle Vengerova, with whom Borovsky studied briefly before he was accepted by Anna Essipova (Vengerova was her assistant at the St. Petersburg Conservatory)." And in November of 1979, Slonimsky wrote that "Borovsky was sent by Essipova to my aunt Isabelle Vengerova for a few weeks of training during Essipova's abseence. Also in New York Borovsky used to come to see Vengerova to play over his pieces before a concert. But these sessions could not be described as formal lessons. How do I know? My aunt told me so."

Borovsky wrote to Slonimsky in 195? "I started to play Bach, I mean all Bach, not only a few transcriptions or occasional Preludes and Fugues, only after 40 years of life. Unti

A refreshing thunderstorm

Built around the nucleus of the acclaimed O/Modernt Chamber Orchestra, O/Modernt is an extended family of distinguished musicians who perform together in flexible line-ups, from small chamber groups to large ensembles. Its special identity is shaped by the creative programmes devised by its founder and Artistic Director, Hugo Ticciati. 

Reimagining the concert hall as a space for surprising musical encounters, Hugo curates consummate listening experiences for audiences across Europe and around the world. O/Modernt’s musical tapestries are woven from heterogeneous styles and genres, brought together to reveal unanticipated connections and contrasts. Schubert might be juxtaposed with Max Richter and works for sarod by Soumik Datta; Brahms with Nirvana, Philip Glass, and Purcell; or Vivaldi with Metallica and Muse. Fresh contexts like these constructively disrupt the borderlines of genre, epoch, and geography to revitalise familiar works from the classical repertoire and bring non-classical works into established concert halls.

Artists · Green Trio

Ann-Estelle Médouze, violin
Natacha Colmez, cello
Ferenc Vizi, piano

Green is a tribute to Verlaine’s famous poem, written when he was in England, an imploring love poem written for Mathilde, his estranged wife.

Green Trio’s programmes are centred on French repertoire of the golden age of the mélodie française, the birth of symbolism, music that is overwhelming in its refinement and subtlety. Their common thread is Green in its four different settings by Debussy, Fauré, Reynaldo Hahn and André Caplet, which in turn open Green Trio’s programmes. The trios of Chausson, Debussy and Ravel as well as the works for piano trio by Lili Boulanger are at the heart of their programmes, juxtaposed with those of Beethoven and Brahms… as fits the occasion.

Voici des fruits, des fleurs, des feuilles et des branches
Et puis voici mon cœur qui ne bat que pour vous.
Ne le déchirez pas avec vos deux mains blanches
Et qu'à vos yeux si beaux l'humble présent soit doux.
