Pavlenko & Kowollik

Yakov Pavlenko (violin), Sonja Kowollik (piano): With their program “Above the Rooftops of Paris,” the duo invites listeners on a multifaceted journey through French music spanning the late Romantic era to the modern era. The music is like a sonic journey over the rooftops of Paris, where sophistication, depth of expression, and stylistic diversity come together with charm and elegance. Great classics and hidden gems offer a glimpse into a Paris of contrasts: dreamy yet vibrant, delicate yet full of energy and strength.
