Conducted by Daniel Harding, this symphonic concert features mezzo-soprano Fleur Barron and tenor Andrew Staples in a programme exploring impressionist and lyrical soundscapes. The evening juxtaposes Debussy’s atmospheric Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune and La Mer with Lili Boulanger’s Faust et Hélène, an evocative lyrical episode after Goethe’s second Faust for solo voices and orchestra. The interpretation emphasises colour, phrasing and orchestral clarity to reveal the works’ poetic intensity.

Featuring pianist and conductor Nikolay Khozyainov leading the Peace Philharmonic Orchestra, this programme reunites Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 1 and Symphony No. 4. Khozyainov’s luminous virtuosity and poetic phrasing meet the orchestra’s richly layered sonorities to foreground Romantic intensity and architectural clarity. The collective of international musicians shapes a dialogue between intimate lyricism and large-scale orchestral drama, with warm textures, rhythmic drive and orchestral colours that evoke both melancholy and exultation. The evening invites deep listening to Brahms’s emotional contrasts and orchestral mastery.

Yulianna Avdeeva offers a programme of solo piano works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven and Maurice Ravel, combining crystalline counterpoint, Classical intensity and impressionistic colour. Her refined touch and meticulous phrasing reveal inner voices and dramatic arcs, while a keen sense of structure shapes each movement. The recital balances intellectual clarity with emotional resonance, allowing familiar repertoire to sound freshly illuminated and deeply expressive.

Featuring the Sinfonietta de Lausanne with pianist Peter Bence, this symphonic show blends orchestral arrangements and virtuosic piano. Across four parts the programme travels from expansive film scores by John Williams and Hans Zimmer to reimagined pop-rock anthems by Queen and Michael Jackson, and original compositions, culminating in a dazzling solo showcase. The collaboration balances monumental sonorities with intimate moments, driven by dynamic orchestration and cinematic textures that invite emotional immersion.

Led by principal conductor and artistic advisor Tugan Sokhiev, this concert pairs powerful orchestral spectacle with intimate cello virtuosity. Michiaki Ueno takes the spotlight in Dvořák’s Cello Concerto in B minor, while Berlioz’s Carnival Romain and a suite from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake (assembled by Sokhiev) frame a programme of sweeping melodic drama and refined detail. The performance balances monumental gestures with lyrical nuance, offering a rich sonic narrative.

Led by conductor Raphaël Merlin, Caravan brings together Les Forces Majeures to fuse classical, jazz and contemporary creation. The programme juxtaposes Debussy and Ellington with new music by Ondrej Adámek, commissioned for the ensemble, whose score mines the mechanical rhythms of cycling to evoke a yearning for escape. The orchestra navigates textural soundscapes and propulsive grooves, balancing intimate chamber colours with sweeping orchestral surges, and foregrounds mobility, communal exchange and the visceral joy of shared musical travel.
