About this concert

‘In compositions including passagework, out-of-tune notes which are not in accordance with the laws of counterpoint do indeed occasionally occur. But without them a beautiful effect is not possible!’ Neapolitan Ascanio Mayone resolutely consigns criticism of his daring compositional style to the wastepaper basket. He has found the perfect ambassador in Louise Acabo: the impressive and very young winner of the Concours Corneille 2018.
