Programme:
Ludwig van Beethoven, Cello Sonata No. 3 in A Major, Op. 69
Dmitri Shostakovich, Cello Sonata in D minor, Op. 40
*
César Franck, Sonata in A Major (arr. J. Delsart)

Once a protégé of the renowned Yehudi Menuhin and Mstislav Rostropovich, and today a leading cellist with a burgeoning conducting career, Marc Coppey is the recipient of the French honorary title “Officier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres”, a sought-after music educator, and artistic director of both the Les Musicales de Colmar and the state-of-the-art music education centre Saline Royale Academy in Arc-et-Senans, France.
Playing a 1711 Matteo Goffriller cello, he will engage in a musical dialogue with Andrew von Oeyen – an incisive pianist of artistic elegance and brilliant technique, and an exclusive Warner Classics artist – who crowned his enviable international concert career with a debut at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in 2025.

Presented in collaboration with Cellofest Ljubljana, the concert highlights some of the pinnacles of the cello repertoire – Beethoven’s epic heroism encapsulated in sonata form, one of Shostakovich’s most elegant and romantic scores, and Franck’s journey of the soul woven into cyclical unity.
