Chamber Music

7.30 pm, Rougemont Church

For the second part of his residency, Francesco Piemontesi has invited violinist Stephen Waarts and cellist Daniel Müller-Schott to the almost 1,000-year-old Rougemont Church. Mentored at the beginning by Anne-Sophie Mutter, the latter released with Piemontesi in 2020 a very beautiful recording of Brahms' Sonatas for Cello and Piano and will endeavour here to revive with her the spirit of a short-lived instrument called the arpeggione (or guitar-cello), developed in 1823 by Johann Georg Stauffer and for which Schubert is the only one to have taken a real interest.
