In this recital: the duo will give themselves body and heart to Malher, Brahms and Schubert.
Julia Brian is known in Périgueux because holder of the state diploma in singing and professor at the Conservatory of Périgueux, she intervened as choir support, became a full conductor by taking the direction of the female vocal ensemble The Ladies of the Choir in the fall of 2006 and, in the spring of 2011, of the men’s ensemble Vox Vesunna.
Schubert: the star of German romantic music

A recording under live conditions
One “Winter trip” by Schubert has been recorded under live conditions by Julia Brian and Patrick Hilliat. “Usually it is the voice of a man who sings these tunes, this is me, a woman”, explains Julia.
The CD is sold at the Maison du Piano in Périgueux but also at the end of the recital where it can be signed.
