About

This concert brings together works by French, Swedish, and Turkish composers, as well as other figures whose paths and influences testify to the historical links between these different cultural spaces. The program highlights 18th-century repertoire, featuring pieces by Jean-Philippe Rameau, François Couperin, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Sebastian Bach, Josef Mysliveček, Ulvi Cemal Erkin, and Ahmed Adnan Saygun.

Alice Power is one of the most promising Swedish pianists of her generation. Awarded the Prix Cortot in 2025 and the Hugo Alfvén Society Prize in 2026, she has already established herself on the international stage through collaborations with renowned musicians and appearances at numerous European festivals. Trained in four countries and a graduate of the École Normale de Musique de Paris – Alfred Cortot, she is currently pursuing her training in the Elite program under the guidance of pianist Rena Shereshevskaya. In 2026, she made her debut at the La Roque d’Anthéron Festival and released her first solo album with La Dolce Volta.
