Orchestre Royal de Chambre de Wallonie is the orchestra chosen to accompany the semi-finalists of the renowned \u201cQueen Elisabeth\u201d Competition in Brussels. Founded in 1958, the Ensemble is based in the historic city of Mons – a former European Capital of Culture – and regularly performs in London, Bilbao, Tokyo, Paris and Brussels. Over the years, the orchestra had as soloists Maria Jo\u00e3o Pires, Janos Starker and Mstislav Rostropovich. Orchestre Royal de Chambre de Wallonie comes to Varna led by its concertmaster Jean-Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Molard. Patrick Dheur, a pianist, composer, and winner of the Szymanowski International Music Competition, honorary citizen of his hometown Li\u00e8ge, returns to the festival with a special composition, dedicated to the festival’s anniversary. Concerto for piano and strings has a unique structure – the first movement is for left hand and orchestra, the second is for right hand and orchestra, and the two hands unite in the third movement. The title \u201cJoined Hands\u201d is symbolic for the Europe and its strength when united. Schubert\u2019s “Death and the Maiden\u201d, undoubtedly one of chamber music\u2019s ultimate masterpieces and Dheur\u2019s orchestral arrangement of C\u00e9sar Franck\u2019s signature “Prelude, Fugue et Variations\u201d shape this thoughtfully curated program according to the values and spirit of the “Varna Summer” festival.<\/p>\n
