Description
Beron celebrates Shakespeare...
Ten years ago, in 2006, three musicians got together to play Mendelssohn. The trio eventually started looking for an appropriate name, and they eventually found their "patron" in Oberon, one of the characters in Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. The King of the Elves embodies the pleasure anyone can find in metamorphosis, in games and creativity, and that remains this musical trio's creed until today – the will to remain flexible at all times, avoiding any sort of routine in music-making and programming. "We 'compose' our programmes with great care", affirms cellist Antoaneta Emanuilova.
he year 2016 also marked the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death: the trio thus decided to combine both jubilees in one programme. Since contemporary music is also part of the three musicians' repertoire, they commissioned a new work. "We wanted it to be up-to-date, but something that would nevertheless have a connection with our namesake", explains violinist Henja Semmler.
