The Magic Flute by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a fairy tale with a double bottom. The opera's plot is saturated with both deep philosophical meanings and theatrical effects. Buffoonery is juxtaposed with high solemnity, while orphic motives are combined with Masonic symbols and ideas of the Enlightenment. Protagonists undergo magical trials to find the ultimate truth. Day fights night, good fights evil, and in the end love, loyalty, and fortitude win — and, in no small part, the magic of the music itself. A new version of the classic masterpiece will be created at the festival by conductor Evgeny Vorobyov, the musicians of musicAeterna, and director Nina Vorobyova.

Ysaÿe composed six solo violin sonatas in July 1923, in just a month, in a fit of inspiration. He was 65 years old, he was a maitre of the violin and, looking around him, summed up his life journey. The sonatas were a reflection on himself and his place in the history of violin playing.

The complexity of the sonatas is phenomenal. Ysaÿe expands the possibilities of the violin to the limit forcing the performer to play chords of six sounds on four strings, making inaudible vibrations and resonances of the instrument part of the music, and as if trying to convey to the audience the inner bodily experience of the violinist. The cycle requires the performer to have perfect technique and abilities for acting, however, the technical skill is not needed per se, but so that the creative spirit of the musician could express itself without hindrance.
