Melodies from Paris

Description: Melodies from Paris Tags: Melodies from ParisSongs from the Parisian belle époque with French lyrical soprano Laetitia Grimaldi Spitzer & Ammiel Bushakevitz (piano)

Odeion

19:30

 

The French soprano Laetitia Grimaldi and pianist Ammiel Bushakevitz offer a program of Romantic French songs, presented in the style of a Parisian salon concert from the belle époque. From the heights of Marcel Proust to the decadence of the Moulin Rouge, the belle époque (circa 1871-1914) was a time when culture flourished more than ever in Paris. The salons of Paris became places where poets, painters and composers would meet to share their art.

 

Laetitia Grimaldi performs worldwide since her Carnegie Hall debut in 2013. After beginning her vocal studies with Teresa Berganza, she continued her studies in New York City, first at the Manhattan School of Music, followed by a Masters degree from the Juilliard School. During her studies at the Juilliard School, Laetitia was awarded first prize in the Kate Neal Kinley Memorial Fellowship International Competition. She is also a top prizewinner in the Concours Léopold Bellan (Paris, 2013). She has received mentorship with some of the world's leading artists, including Dame Emma Kirkby, Illeana Cotrubas, Alfred Brendel, Teresa Berganza, Sir Thomas Allen, Masaaki Suzuki and Matthias Goerne, amongst others.

 

Ammiel Bushakevitz has performed in over thirty countries across Europe, North America, Africa and Asia. He has received top prizes at numerous competitions including the International Schubert Competition, the International Johannes Brahms Competition, the Concours Léopold Bellan in Paris and the 2013 Wigmore Hall International Song Competition (London). After graduating from the University of Pretoria, he studied at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater “Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy” (Leipzig, Germany) and furthered his studies at the Conservatoire Nationale Supérieur de Musique (Paris). He has a special love for song accompaniment and has received mentorship from notable singers including Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Elly Ameling, Thomas Hampson, Matthias Goerne and Teresa Berganza.  Ammiel is an alumnus of the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst, an honorary member of the Richard Wagner Society of South Africa and an Edison Fellow of the British Library.
