Marie Hallynck takes center stage with Luigi Boccherini's dynamic String Quintet in D minor, a piece brimming with lyrical elegance and technical brilliance. Natalie Clein will enchant with Boccherini's beloved Cello Concerto No. 7 in G major, celebrated for its graceful melodies and lively spirit. The program continues with Aleksey Shadrin performing Servais' emotive Fantaisie sur deux Airs Russes, a work that combines Russian folk themes with dazzling virtuosity.
