11.12.25, 20:00, Duo Altiler, Aaricia Ponnet & Haroun Iqbal, Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonate

Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata has often been a source of inspiration for other artists in the past — think of Tolstoy and Janáček — and the piece continues to provoke. This makes it ideal for Will to Wander, which shines a different light on classical works. 

Beethoven dedicated his 9th sonata to his good friend, violinist Rodolphe Kreutzer, who is best known among violinists for his etudes. The original commission was for Bridgetower, who premiered the piece but found it unplayable. To err is human: the work is now part of the standard violin repertoire and is performed frequently. Tonight, you will hear it first in its original form by Duo Altiler, who won Klara's Supernova competition in 2025 and also took home the audience prize. After that, Aaricia Ponnet & Haroun Iqbal will let their imagination run wild.
