About this event
Festival Osmose: Viola-Piano Concert Violist Maxime Désert works closely with pianist Mariane Marchal, exploring the many facets of music for viola and piano. Their repertoire brings together essential classics, lesser-known works and original pieces commissioned from contemporary composers, revealing the full versatility and creativity of this instrumental duo. Together, they released the album La Datcha de Chosta, issued by Paraty in spring 2025. The recording highlights the Sonata for Viola and Piano, Op. 147, the final work of Dmitri Shostakovich, completed shortly before his death in 1975, exactly 50 years ago. The album also pays tribute to Fyodor Druzhinin, the violist to whom the sonata was dedicated, and features contemporary creations that carry this musical legacy forward.
