AMIRA ABOUZAHRA / JULIEN QUENTIN
Bartók, Kodály, Salama, Strauss
At just 20 years old, Amira Abouzahra, a student of our Academy with Hungarian and Egyptian roots, captivates with her rare intensity and already commanding presence. Trained in Vienna within a family of musicians, she makes her Verbier debut this summer alongside Julien Quentin, in a spirited and contrasting program featuring, among others, the brilliant Violin Sonata by Richard Strauss.
