Tabea Zimmermann, Jean-Guihen Queyras, Javier Perianes
Beseeled friendships – As a leading viola player of her generation and a shaping educator, Tabea Zimmermann knows from experience the unifying power of making music together. Her instrument often takes on a mediating role in chamber music: balancing, dialogical, supportive. The audience can therefore expect harmonious interaction when Tabea Zimmermann completes the artistic companions Jean-Guihen Queyras and Javier Perianes into a high-caliber trio. The program celebrates the sparks that the meeting of musically excellent personalities generates. The famous Clara Schumann performed with the twelve years younger Joseph Joachim more often than with anyone else. Since 1843 they were on stage together, and their contact deepened into a friendship around 1853 – the same year Joachim introduced the Schumann couple to an exciting young pianist named Johannes Brahms.
The friendship of these four exceptional individuals lasted until the end of their lives and left traces in numerous compositions – such as Joachim’s "Hebrew Melodies," dedicated to Brahms, and Clara Schumann’s "Three Romances," which Joachim provided with markings and phrasing indications for publication. Brahms was also inspired throughout his life by friendships, whether through the singing talent of Joachim's wife Amalie or through the Meiningen clarinetist Richard Mühlfeld, who inspired late masterpieces like the clarinet trio, also authorized for viola.
