Trio Lusinea – Romantic Women
Trio Lusinea – Romantic Women
ChatGPT:
The trio Lusinea brings together flute, bassoon, and harp in a rare and richly colored combination. Their music becomes a stage for intimate moments, shimmering tonal nuances, and refined dialogues. In their current program, the ensemble is devoted to romantic works composed exclusively by women. At the heart of the program are Marguerite Roesgen-Champion and Mel Bonis – two composers with a close connection to Switzerland.
The impressionistically tinged Suite by Marguerite Roesgen-Champion, a native of Geneva, was rediscovered by Valeria Curti in a Geneva archive — a poetic work that the trio has since recorded for the first time. The music of Mel Bonis also unfolds its full expressive power in this instrumentation: rich in emotion, refined in harmony, and charged with inner drama. Her life resembled a soap opera — a story full of secrets, hidden emotions, and societal constraints that resonate in the intensity of her music.
The program is complemented by works by Florence Price, the first African American woman composer to gain national recognition in the United States. Her compositions combine classical forms with spirituals, rhythmic vitality, and soulful depth.
In Trio Lusinea, three outstanding musicians come together — united by curiosity, precision, and a passion for storytelling through sound. Valeria Curti, principal bassoonist of the Musikkollegium Winterthur and lecturer at the Bern University of the Arts, combines technical sophistication with stylistic depth and brings forgotten works to light through her research. Annina Rusch, a versatile flutist and dedicated music educator, enriches the ensemble with her clear, lyrical tone and refined sense for color and atmosphere. Isabel Goller, an award-winning harpist from South Tyrol, moves effortlessly between opera, chamber music, and meditative sound worlds.
The concert takes place in the cozy setting of the Rechberg 1837 restaurant. Before the musical part, the kitchen serves a four-course menu specially curated for the evening. As seating is limited, reservations with the concert menu will be given priority. Tickets for the concert without dinner will only be released shortly before the event, depending on availability.
