Camané, a leading figure of contemporary fado, offers an intimate, lyric-driven performance where voice shapes narrative and silence becomes breath. His elegant restraint and deep attention to lyrics bring out melancholy, memory and light. Joined by José Manuel Neto (Portuguese guitar), Carlos Manuel Proença (acoustic guitar) and Paulo Paz (double bass), the quartet builds precise arrangements and rich textures that balance tradition and renewal. The result is a suspended, inward musical journey of subtle intensity.

Sir András Schiff and Evgeny Kissin join at the piano for an intimate programme of pieces for two pianos and four hands. They perform Mozart’s Sonata in D major, KV 448, Schumann’s Andante and Variations, op. 46, and Bilder aus Osten, Smetana’s La Moldau in the four‑hand arrangement, plus selected Dvořák Slavonic Dances. The recital balances classical clarity with Romantic depth, highlighting refined ensemble interplay and the contrasting voices of two towering virtuosos.

Flutist Emmanuel Pahud and pianist Eric Le Sage present a programme of classical and romantic gems by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Clara Schumann and Robert Schumann. Pahud’s own adaptations for flute and piano bring a fresh intimacy to the music, highlighting lyrical phrasing and subtle chamber dialogue. The recital balances clarity of line with warm, expressive colours, offering a contemplative and richly textured listening experience focused on nuanced interaction between soloist and piano.

Bizet’s opera “Carmen” will be performed by the Concertus Orchestra and the Orphée Vocal Ensemble, conducted by Matthieu Schweyer, at Victoria Hall. Notable soloists include Nora Sourouzian as Carmen, Louis Zaitoun as Don José, Karine Mkrtchyan as Micaëla, and Sacha Michon as Escamillo. The children’s choir will also participate in this production.

Japanese pianist Hayato Sumino performs a programme mixing Romantic and contemporary voices, featuring works by Frédéric Chopin, Hayato Sumino, Camille Saint-Saëns, Thomas Adès and Igor Stravinsky. His playing balances lyrical warmth and dazzling virtuosity, shifting from intimate poetical moments to bold, rhythmically charged passages. The recital explores contrasts of colour and texture, inviting deep listening and emotional clarity while showcasing the artist’s refined touch and imaginative interpretative choices.
