Summer Delights

Concert To close the season in style, what could be more inspiring than a retreat into nature? In his Symphony No. 6 « Pastoral », Ludwig van Beethoven expresses his deep love for nature. Drawing inspiration from his country walks, the composer weaves his score with pastoral evocations, shepherd songs, murmuring brooks, thunderstorms, and tempests. To this summer piece are added Le Tombeau de Couperin, a musical tribute by Maurice Ravel to his friends who died in World War I, and the Rhapsody for Alto by Bohuslav Martinů, a subtle blend of fantasy, sensitivity, and lightness. For this occasion, Nicholas Carter will make his debut as conductor of the Symphony Orchestra of the Monnaie.
