Anna Fedorova doesn’t play the piano: she makes it breathe.

This is how critics describe the young pianist’s performance. In her hands, Chopin’s music breathes, feels and speaks with a naturalness that transcends technique. The concerto, composed by a twenty-year-old Chopin, is a work of farewell and revelation: a glance back at his native Poland and at the same time a prelude to his artistic journey toward exile and maturity. Yulianna Fedorova, trained at the Royal College of Music in London, has developed an international career that has taken her to the world’s most prestigious stages. She has performed with orchestras such as the Philharmonia Orchestra, the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie and the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

Violinists Daniel Rowland and Floor Le Coultre, violist Dana Zemtsov, cellist Maja Bogdanović and double bassist Nicholas Schwartz are dynamic, internationally acclaimed soloists whose artistry has taken them to major stages across Europe, Asia and the Americas. Rowland is celebrated for his charismatic virtuosity and adventurous programing; Le Coultre for her vivid communication and versatility as a chamber musician; Zemtsov as one of the leading violists of her generation with a warm, expressive sound; Bogdanović for her poetic musicianship and commanding presence as a concerto and recital soloist; and Schwartz as a rare double bass virtuoso with a rich tone and refined musicality.

The evening will also feature award-winning Ukrainian young talent from the Davidsbündler Music Academy, including Ivan Petrenko and his professor, pianist and composer Borys Fedorov. In this special programme, all artists will shine both individually and collectively, each featured in a solo showcase moment before uniting their distinctive musical voices in an unforgettable and uniquely soloistic ensemble.

A Night of Emotion

The Davidsbündler Chamber Orchestra will accompany Fedorova in a concert in support of the Davidsbündler Foundation, dedicated to promoting the musical talent of young Ukrainian performers, and FISP, a foundation driving biomedical research to transform scientific knowledge into real treatment options and which this year celebrates its 40th anniversary.
