Here, under the energetic direction of Roderick Cox, is an explosive program combining frantic rhythms, pianistic prowess and telluric forces!
The concert kicks off with John Adams in a vortex typical of "minimal music", where electrifying pulsations and orchestral colors propel you forward at full speed. A virtuoso, jubilant lightning-flash to open the season with a bang! Then it's time for the poetry and bravura of Franz Liszt: between diabolical flashes and bewitching cantabile, the Piano Concerto No. 1 reveals the full extent of Liszt?s genius, magnified by the sparkling, pearly touch of the immense Bertrand Chamayou. Last but not least, the brutal harmonies and primal force of Stravinsky?s Rite of Spring always deliver an unavoidable shock. Get ready for a powerful, virtuosic and unforgettable orchestral experience!
