Chopin par Kasumitsu Ujisawa

The Église Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre welcomes Kasumitsu Ujisawa for a recital devoted to the work of Frédéric Chopin.

Pianist Kasumitsu Ujisawa performs a programme centred on the piano compositions of Frédéric Chopin. The work of this nineteenth-century Romantic composer is marked by its emphasis on the solo piano, through varied forms such as the nocturnes, waltzes, preludes and polonaises, characterised by a pronounced lyricism and a thorough exploration of technique.

On stage, Kasumitsu Ujisawa adopts the bearing of a classical concert, conveying the complexity of Chopin's writing with rigour. This recital is aimed at lovers of classical music and of the solo piano repertoire, who wish to hear these scores played in the particular acoustic of a place of worship. The Église Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre offers an ancient architectural setting that alters the way acoustic instruments are heard, favouring the resonance of notes over the neutrality of a modern concert hall.
