3. Fibonacci Trio - Return to Vienna
Enter the history of the keyboard trio! The musicians invite you to go back in time to discover two significant pieces in the genesis of this repertoire. Haydn's "gypsy" trio was composed at a time when he was exploring the more personal musical avenues offered by chamber music. His music shines here with its contagious joy and its luminous and danceable passages. Schubert, for his part, immerses us in a flow of melodies emblematic of his style with his Trio No. 1. The founder of the lied indeed distinguishes himself with his passionate effusions and his lyricism that rub shoulders with moments of lightness. A creation by Montreal composer Jesse Plessis completes this program with a return to today's music.

The estuary represents this astonishing space of transition and transformation where fresh water meets salt water and unexpected potentials are revealed, like the encounters imagined by Constantinople. This third collaboration between kora master Ablaye Cissoko and Persian setar ambassador Kiya Tabassian is none other than the junction point where the rivers of their musical memories meet. Their dialogue, which is refined and enriched from year to year, gives rise to musical conversations that inspire a sense of wonder and awaken consciousness.
