An ambassador for lively, inclusive music, Alizé Léhon graduated with flying colors from the Paris Conservatoire (CNSMD) in 2024, the same year she was selected for the Malko Young Conductors Competition and awarded the Neeme Järvi Prize at the Gstaad Conducting Academy.
She conducts this program, which opens with the spellbinding energy of Bartók?s Six Romanian Folk Dances, whose traditional melodies are adorned with orchestral colors unheard of at the time. Then the Divertimento by Polish composer Grazyna Bacewicz blends folkloric vivacity with architectural rigor, reflecting her intrepid genius. Selected movements from Sibelius?s Belshazzar?s Feast suite plunge you into a mysterious, oriental atmosphere, while Stravinsky?s Eight Miniatures offer a fine example of his rhythmic and harmonic sense. The concert concludes with the radiant beauty of Dvo?ák?s Czech Suite, where waltzes and polkas celebrate the liveliest of popular joys.
