The Amadeus Piano Quartet was founded by Robert Zimansky, who was the first concertmaster of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande for many years. With his friends from Geneva, the quartet regularly plays Mozart, Brahms, Fauré, etc., but it also offers lighter transcriptions of well-known orchestral and piano pieces.
Cellist Stephan Rieckhoff, who lives in Leysin, has invited his partners in the Amadeus Piano Quartet to join him in a concert at the LAS. The program will begin with a lively overture by the Italian opera composer Gioacchino Rossini and continue with a quartet by Gabriel Fauré, who was one of the most famous proponents of the French romantic movement. The concert will conclude with melodies from "Porgy and Bess" the opera by George Gershwin portraying the hardships of a Black community in the slums of Charleston in the 1920s. These tunes are very well-known and have been sung and transcribed by many famous musical artists since then.
We are thrilled to welcome violinist Robert Zimansky, violist Barry Shapiro, cellist Stephan Rieckhoff, and pianist Saya Hashino for an unforgettable evening of music.

Le Quatuor Amadeus a été fondé par Robert Zimansky, qui a été pendant de nombreuses années le premier violon solo de l'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. Avec ses amis de Genève, le quatuor joue régulièrement Mozart, Brahms, Fauré, etc., mais propose également des transcriptions plus légères de pièces orchestrales et pour piano bien connues.
Le violoncelliste Stephan Rieckhoff, qui vit à Leysin, a invité ses partenaires du Quatuor Amadeus à se joindre à lui pour un concert au LAS. Le programme débutera par une ouverture dynamique du compositeur d'opéra italien Gioacchino Rossini et se poursuivra avec un quatuor de Gabriel Fauré, l'un des plus célèbres représentants du mouvement romantique français. Le concert se terminera par des mélodies de "Porgy and Bess", l'opéra de George Gershwin qui dépeint les difficultés d'une communauté noire dans les quartiers pauvres de Charleston dans les années 1920. Ces airs sont très connus et ont été chantés et transcrits par de nombreux artistes musicaux célèbres depuis lors.
Nous sommes ravis d'accueillir le violoniste Robert Zimansky, l'altiste Barry Shapiro, le violoncelliste Stephan Rieckhoff et la pianiste Saya Hashino pour une soirée musicale inoubliable.
