The Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel and the Orchestre Symphonique Bienne Soleure have worked together for several years on producing concerts founded on the concept of apprenticeship, offering renowned artists and promising young musicians the possibility of a residency at the Music Chapel. This collaboration has given rise to the ambitious idea of programming Mozart’s double concertos, with the original feature of partnering a confirmed artist – such as Frank Braley or Louis Lortie – with an emerging talent. The conductor Kaspar Zender and the Orchestre Symphonique Bienne Soleure gave their full commitment to this project, which combines the wisdom of experience and youthful ardour, centring on a concert. It was therefore decided to give priority to the experience of live performance in order to preserve the emotion of the artists and the palpable fervour of the audience.
