Elsa Dreisig, Jonathan Ware & Nikola Nikolov

The young lyric soprano Elsa Dreisig has already established herself on the European music scene with prominent opera roles and concert appearances. She has received numerous talent awards and accolades, released two albums, and collaborated with the renowned American accompanist and chamber musician Jonathan Ware, who will also accompany her at this concert. Joining them is Bulgarian violinist Nikola Nikolov, Elsa Dreisig's husband, and a member of the Orchestre de Paris since 2008.

This unique combination of soprano, piano, and violin allows for a diverse and versatile program, ranging from romances and songs by Peter Heise, Lange-Müller, Carl Nielsen, Jean Sibelius, and Edvard Grieg, to late French Romantic works by Henri Duparc and Gabriel Fauré, and even cabaret and chanson classics by Kurt Weill and Édith Piaf.

The program is further enriched by solo violin pieces, including Fauré’s well-known “Berceuse” and the second movement of Grieg’s Violin Sonata No. 3. The evening culminates with a captivating piece for all three performers by the lesser-known Swedish composer Laura Netzel, “Din frid, var han en drömgestalt.” Netzel, once relatively obscure (perhaps due to her gender), is now gaining recognition, and her music is being increasingly performed.
