Concert with
For Dmitri by Jelena
The Russian composer Yelena Firsova is composer-in-residence of the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin in 2021/2022. RSB flautist Rudolf Döbler has taken it upon himself to feature milestones out of her artistic biography – role models, teachers, people closest to her – in a chamber concert program. Maria Pflüger, violinist of the RSB, lived for a year in the apartment of the couple Yelena Firsova and Dmitri Smirnov during her studies in Moscow. Subsequently the Russian artist family visited Maria Pflüger in her German home. From their time together, Maria Pflüger has had access to some chamber music works that are otherwise hardly known – and will present one of them within our concert in Berlin: the Sonata No. 2 by Dmitri Smirnov from 1979, dedicated to his wife for her birthday. Yelena Firsova has expressed the wish that during her residency at the RSB the music of her husband Dmitri Smirnov will also be commemorated. He passed away on April 9, 2020, at the age of 71, from a COVID19 infection.
