Sunday 3 May, 17:00

Led by conductor Léonie Cachelin, the University Choir and HEM Orchestra present a program centred on sacred classics: Marianna Martines’s Dixit Dominus, Haydn’s Te Deum and Mozart’s Coronation Mass. Soloists Faustine Egiziano (soprano), Stéphanie Guérin (mezzo), Maxence Billiemaz (tenor) and Romain Favre (bass) shape luminous vocal lines, supported by rich orchestral colour. The performance blends academic precision and communal warmth, alternating grandeur and intimate moments that invite reflection and collective resonance.

Monday 4 May, 20:00

Directed by Jacques Gay, this vocal celebration gathers soloists Fabrice Coccitto and Thibaut Trouche, pianist Raphaëlle Farman and the Comédie Lyrique choir to traverse a repertoire spanning musical theatre, French variété and jazz. Selections range from Aznavour and Voulzy to Queen, ABBA and Sinatra, reimagined with warm ensemble singing and intimate piano textures. The staging favors close harmonies, rhythmic verve and nostalgic timbres, inviting listeners into a convivial yet nuanced sound world.

Tuesday 5 May, 19:30

Conductor Zofia Kiniorska leads the AMAA Symphony Orchestra through a programme balancing Italian lyricism and Romantic drama.

Excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake and Puccini’s symphonic prelude weave orchestral color with balletic textures, complemented by dancers from CPMDT — Emilie Meeus and Luca Scaduto — who add a visual, kinetic layer to the musical narrative.
