Tedi Papavrami and François-Frédéric Guy at the Palazzetto Bru Zanefestival (2015)

For the third edition of its Paris festival, the Palazzetto Bru Zane invites the violinist Tedi Papavrami, Albanian soloist and chamber musician, and the pianist François-Frédéric Guy, one of the best representatives of the French piano school and a passionate chamber music player. They celebrate French musical life under the Empire through the music of pianists Hélène de Montgeroult and Daniel Steibelt and violinist Rodolphe Kreutzer, teachers at the Conservatoire: under the Revolution for Montgeroult and under the Empire for Kreutzer. This period corresponds to the years of apprenticeship of the young Louis-Ferdinand Hérold, who followed the teaching of Kreutzer, whose fame earned him the honor of being the dedicatee of Beethoven's Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 9 in A major, known as the "Kreutzer Sonata". The Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord, built in 1876, now regularly hosts new creations and performances as part of its annual spring renewal.
