It is a program that defies all conventions, put together by the charismatic conductor Constantinos Carydis. The focus is on dance, and Carydis sits down at the piano herself. And there is a violin concerto that also goes completely against the norm. Robert Schumann's D minor Concerto is a special case. While the composer was still celebrating pure joie de vivre with his "Rhenish Symphony", three years later he allows us to look into the depths, perhaps into the abyss, with the Violin Concerto. It is a completely nonconformist, even visionary late work, an exotic island in the midst of the all too ingratiating beautiful sound concerts of that time. Only a few violinists dare this dance on the volcano - the Japanese Sayaka Shoji is one of them. Her career began at 16 when she won the 1999 Paganini competition in Genoa. She is the youngest winner to date. Raised in Italy and Japan, she studied in Cologne and now lives in Paris. And she never wanted to be a dancer, although she wanted to be an opera singer – "but I had a very quiet voice. In a way, learning to play the violin was an alternative, which is why singing has become a very important element in my playing.”
