Le Cornette

The Frank Martin Orchestra of Geneva invites you on a musical journey through the works of Frank Martin and Gustav Mahler. Martin’s “Le Cornette,” composed in 1942-1943 and set to a text by Rainer Maria Rilke, delves into themes of solitude, suffering, and the acceptance of the inevitable. This will be complemented by a new French rendition of the text by Alexandre Pateau, brought to life by actor Gilles Privat. The program also features Mahler’s Adagietto from his Fifth Symphony, a transcendent piece that feels as if time itself is momentarily suspended.
