6 February, 2025, Venise

At the invitation of the Palazzo Contarini Polignac, the CNLB, the Alliance française de Venise and the Fondation Etrillard are organising a recital in tribute to the Princesse de Polignac and Nadia Boulanger. Closely linked from the 1930s until Winnaretta Singer-Polignac’s death in 1943, these two exceptional women each had a remarkable influence on musical life in their own way.

Baritone Florian Störtz and pianist Mark Rogers, winners of the Prix de Mélodie – Prix de la Fondation Etrillard at the CNLB’s international voice and piano competition, will perform works by Gabriel Fauré, Maurice Ravel, Henri Duparc, Reynaldo Hahn, Nadia Boulanger, Célanie Carissan, Richard Wagner, Henri Dutilleux and Léonard Berstein.

Winners of the CNLB Voici-Piano Competition, they performed a “Lyrical Novel” freely inspired by Maupassant’s work, Une vie.
