Programme: the partnership between Alena Baeva and Anastasia Kobekina has been repeatedly appreciated on stages all over the world, creating concerts full of pure emotion and virtuosity. Alena Baeva, considered one of the most appreciated violinist of our times, used to dream of becoming an airline pilot. This dream has then made way for music, giving the world moments of pure magic. Her magnetic charm and her sound technique, described by the New York Classical Review as “constantly fascinating”, make her one of the most moving, eclectic and internationally active soloists. She performed on the most prestigious stages with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the NHK Symphony Orchestra Tokyo and the Orquesta Sinfònica y Coro de la RTVE, just to name a few, not to mention her collaborations with several esteemed artists. Despite her young age, Anastasia Kobekina, considered one of the world’s most fascinating emerging cellists, has appeared on stage with numerous world-famous orchestras, including the Wiener Symphoniker, the BBC Philharmonic and the Kremerata Baltica. Two souls that meet in the wild and untouched nature, performing works by Bach, Haydn, Stravinsky, and Glière, with views on the Dolomites of Fassa.
