Symphonic Concert
Orchestre de Paris / Stanislav Kochanovsky
Wednesday, October 9, 2024 at 8:00 pm
Dominated by Tchaikovsky's dramatic Symphony No. 5, marked by a constant and foreboding sense of fatality, this program lifts the veil on two fairytale princesses: that of the young Tcherepnin, and that of Ravel with his most “Russian” work.
Symphonic Concert
Orchestre de Paris / Petr Popelka
16 & October 17, 2024
The danger of invoking witches, as illustrated by a splendid opus penned by Dvořák, seems to have been averted thanks to Thierry Escaich's lyricism. Powerful and irresistible, Shostakovich's Symphony No.5 plays with propaganda only to thwart it.

20 & November 21, 2024

Show

A deeply moving production in which Romeo Castellucci conjures up an excavation simultaneously macabre and contemplative where, as if from a pit – that of the dead, that of the orchestra– Mahler's restless metaphysics, grippingly embodied, emerge.
Symphonic Concert
Orchestre de Paris / Klaus Mäkelä
4 & December 5, 2024

22 & January 23, 2025

Symphonic Concert

29 & January 30, 2025
A feast for the ears as Alexandre Desplat in person leads the Orchestre de Paris through a fascinating anthology of his best scores: Desplat's wizardry, which has seduced even Harry Potter, in action!
Symphonic Concert
Orchestre de Paris / Karina Canellakis
5 & February 6, 2025

Orchestre de Paris / Klaus Mäkelä
Tuesday, February 18, 2025 at 8:00 pm

Symphonic Concert
Orchestre de Paris / Nathalie Stutzmann
19 & March 20, 2025

Johann Sebastian Bach / Messe en si
8 & April 9, 2025
Powerful, syncretic if we take the Credo in its most universal sense, the Mass in B minor is one of the most profound and hermetic monuments in the history of music. As Cioran once cheekily opined, “If anyone owes everything to Bach, it's God!”
Symphonic Concert
Orchestre de Paris / Jukka-Pekka Saraste
23 & April 24, 2025
In response to the Brahmsian drama, marked by mystery and wildness, we have one of Sibelius's most optimistic compositions. And between the two, these last songs, which are not just those of Strauss's, but a “farewell” to Romantic song.

4 & June 5, 2025
Yunchan Lim's galvanising virtuosity takes hold of Concerto No.4, the least performed of Rachmaninoff's concertos, but also the richest and most adventurous of the series. And, in response, we have the flamboyant grandeur of Saint-Saëns's Organ Symphony.
