Additional Information
On July 24, the Festival de Lanaudière will welcome the young and new chamber music ensemble Ember for an evening of intimacy and friendship. Composed of soprano Elizabeth Polese, pianist Christopher Gaudreault, violinist Katelyn Emery, and horn player Florence Rousseau, this quartet of young musicians will offer the Musée d’art de Joliette a unique musical experience, with Richard Strauss’s Four Last Songs as the main work. Presented in a North American premiere in a chamber music version, this arrangement of Strauss’s last cycle of melodies will be accompanied by works by the most famous trio of friends in music history, Robert Schumann, Clara Schumann, and Johannes Brahms.
To discuss this, Alexandre Villemaire from PAN M 360 spoke with Elizabeth Polese, founding member of Ensemble Ember.
