Ensemble Kinari, Jean Francaix E William Walton

The idea of bringing together William Waltons "Quartet for Strings and Piano in D minor" and Jean Franaixs "Trio for Strings" was born from the desire of the Kinari Ensemble - founded in 2019 by Azusa Onishi (violin), Mizuho Ueyama (viola), Gianluca Pirisi (cello) and Flavia Salemme (piano) - to enhance two youthful compositions, extremely characteristic and rarely performed in the Italian scene.

This is the reason why the Ensemble promises to be a formation open to welcoming musicians who want to join our idea of a union between research and performance. The Ensemble Kinari is a modular ensemble founded in 2019 by Azusa Onishi (violin), Mizuho Ueyama (viola), Gianluca Pirisi (cello), Flavia Salemme (piano). The Ensemble's first project concerns the discovery of the chamber music repertoire of the Sicilian composer Eliodoro Sollima. In 2021, the album Eliodoro Sollima - Chamber music was recorded for the Brilliant record label, covering the production of the Sicilian composer from 1948 to 1992, selecting 6 of the most representative works of his chamber music production. The cellist Giovanni Sollima,.
