Sonia Wieder-Atherton, cello
Sarah Rothenberg, piano
Images: Chantal Akerman
Concept and direction: Sonia Wieder-Atherton and Chantal Akerman
Music of Ravel, Rachmaninoff, Boris Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Martinů, Janáček, Bartók, Schnittke and Prokofiev
Following acclaimed sold-out performances in Paris’s Cité de la musique, Brussels and Lisbon, French-American cellist Sonia Wieder-Atherton and pianist Sarah Rothenberg bring Wieder-Atherton and filmmaker Chantal Akerman’s D’est En Musique to the US, in conjunction with a retrospective of Akerman’s films at the Museum of Modern Art.
DACAMERA joins forces with Paris’s La Philharmonie to offer this poetic and evocative interweaving of image and music, where Chantal Akerman’s scenes of eastern Europe and Russia after the fall of the Berlin Wall merge hauntingly with works of Rachmaninoff, Janáček, Chopin, Martinů, Schnittke and others.
“From the Baroque to the contemporary, whenever Sonia Wieder-Atherton takes on a challenge it is like diving body and soul into the ocean of captive sounds we call music.”
— Le Monde
“Playing with eloquence and poetic intensity, she grabbed our attention and kept us enthralled”
— San Francisco Classical Voice on Sarah Rothenberg
