After the Musical Caravan, which since January has traveled through 10 municipalities in the department to educate with concerts featuring small ensembles and the interesting novelty of apartment concerts (what a great idea, to replicate and amplify), a night dedicated to Gustav Mahler at the Opéra Garnier will inaugurate the 2015 edition of the Monte-Carlo Arts Festival.
It is around the German composer that Marc Monnet, the festival director, has composed the program, featuring 8 symphonies performed by the Philharmonic Orchestra of Monte-Carlo and four prestigious German orchestras.
This Sunday, it will be Tugan Sokhiev’s turn, who conducts the Capitol Orchestra in Toulouse, France, to showcase his brilliance by leading the Deutsches Symphonie Orchester Berlin in the 6th Symphony*.
After three intense weeks, the closing concert will take place on April 10, featuring the 1st and 10th symphonies. The baton of Daniel Harding, one of the most talented conductors of the new generation, will lead the Philharmonic Orchestra of Monte-Carlo.*
Between the first and last concerts, music lovers will have delighted in 15 diverse and varied programs, featuring five other symphonies by Mahler and other high-quality offerings.
Notably, on Sunday, March 27, there will be a program of Breton music and dances. A pleasant surprise that will give a popular touch to the event.
This aligns with Marc Monnet’s vision, for whom “elitism is for everyone.”
