After last year’s triumph in the Stadium with Ballets russes, the Orchestre de Paris and its charismatic conductor Klaus Mäkelä return for a residence on two evenings over the week-end of 14 July. 

After a first evening devoted to ‘Parisian’ symphonic masterpieces, the second one to be given by the Orchestre de Paris and Klaus Mäkelä as an anchor for the week-end of 14 July is devoted this time to two illustrious works representative of German late romanticism, both composed in 1899: firstly, with the Fourth Symphony it extends the ‘Mahler cycle’ which the Festival has been presenting for several years with the greatest conductors and the most prestigious orchestras; and secondly, it celebrates the 150th anniversary of the birth of Schönberg with the precocious masterpiece Transfigured Night (Verklärte Nacht), one of his most popular works.

The concerts on July 13 and 14 take place at the following address:
Grand Théâtre de Provence
380, avenue Max Juvénal
13100 Aix-en-Provence
