Concert - Duo violon - Clarissa Bevilacqua & Elise Bertrand

The parish church welcomes two remarkable violinists of the new generation for a duet recital: Clarissa Bevilacqua and Élise Bertrand.

A winner of prestigious international competitions, Clarissa Bevilacqua has made a name for herself through her luminous musicality, great elegance, and exceptional mastery of her instrument. Winner of First Prize, the Audience Prize, and the Bärenreiter Special Prize at the Salzburg International Mozart Competition, she has also won the Grand Prix at the Cape Symphony International Violin Concerto Competition and Second Prize at the Monte-Carlo Music Masters. Her international career has taken her to major concert halls and to performances with renowned orchestras.

Violinist and composer Élise Bertrand, meanwhile, pursues a dual career that combines performance, composition, and the promotion of the contemporary repertoire. Named “Revelation in Instrumental Solo Performance” at the 2024 Victoires de la Musique Classique, she is a laureate of numerous competitions and performs on stages throughout France and internationally.

For this 75-minute recital, the two artists present a particularly varied program, creating a dialogue between masterpieces from the repertoire for solo violin and for two violins. From Jean-Marie Leclair to Béla Bartók, including works by Reinhold Glière, Fritz Kreisler, Eugène Ysaÿe, Giovanni Sollima, and Johan Halvorsen, the concert blends virtuosity, expressiveness, and modernity.
A rare musical encounter between two exceptional violinists.
