Concert in Trigance

Tuesday 4 August 2026 – 8 PM
Eglise Saint-Michel, Trigance

For this evening, the musicians will be heading to Trigance to perform part of the wonderful line-up for this second edition of the Festival du Haut-Var.

This concert begins in the 18th century with the Oboe Quartet by Jean Christian Bach, son of Johann Sebastian Bach and, notably, Mozart’s composition teacher.

The journey through time continues with the “First Viennese School” and Ludwig van Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 3, Op. 18. Despite the opus number assigned to it, this quartet is probably the first one the composer wrote and displays a style still heavily influenced by Haydn and Mozart.

Finally, the string instruments are joined by the clarinet to perform Johannes Brahms’ Clarinet Quintet. This late work by the composer is a profound exploration of the emotions and a dazzling immersion in German Romanticism.

Note: The works performed at this concert in Trigance will also be performed in Aups (Brahms) and Aiguines (Beethoven and Bach).
