Adrien Fournaison, baritone · Natallia Yeliseyeva, piano

Solitude has provided ready inspiration for German composers. But they don’t have a monopoly on the feeling: Brahms, Schubert and Schumann rub shoulders with Fauré, Barber and Stravinsky in a program put together by the baritone Adrien Fournaison and the pianist Natallia Yeliseyeva in order to evoke Alexander Harrison’s painting.

Concert followed by a presentation of the painting in the Museum’s galleries by an art history student.
