Murten Classics already brought the Geneva composer Caroline Boissier-Butini to mind in 2016 with her 6th Piano Concerto La Suisse. This summer, her 4th piano concerto can be heard at the Serenade Concert on August 25 in the Schlosshof Murten. Pianist Daria Korotkova and the Soundeum Chamber Ensemble will perform under the direction of Yacin Elbay.

This will be preceded by a book launch and a concert introduction. A few years ago, the musicologist Irène Minder-Jeanneret published her dissertation "The best musician in town" - Caroline Boissier-Butini (1786-1836) and Geneva's musical life at the beginning of the 19th century the biography of the pianist. The author will present the biography, which has now been published in French, at the book launch on August 25 at 5 pm. In addition, the modern first edition of the 4th Piano Concerto and the Fantaisie sur l'air de la belle Rosine presented.
