For health reasons, George Benjamin has had to cancel his appearance at the Philharmonie de Paris as conductor of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France. This programme, dear to his heart - Messiaen was his teacher - will be reprogrammed in a future season.

Debussy’s shimmering, pictorial score finds resonance with the work of Olivier Messiaen, a great colourist of orchestral material, at his best in Chronochromie, rich with the sounds of nature.
