Led by conductor Daniele Gatti with pianist Mao Fujita, this symphonic programme presents Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 58, followed by the luminous Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68, the ‘Pastoral’. The evening explores intimate dialogue between soloist and orchestra, balancing crystalline pianism with warm orchestral colours and naturalistic, evocative textures. The pacing and dynamic contrasts promise a contemplative, vividly atmospheric interpretation.
Choreographed by Léo Lérus, Gounouj in situ is an intimate, physical dance for four performers that evokes fragile, living landscapes. Rooted in gwoka rhythms and inspired by the creole concept of bousyè, the work blends traditional and contemporary vocabularies to explore vulnerability, transformation and resistance. Bodies shift between human and amphibious states across a sensory soundscape of bird song and marine breath, transforming the stage into a moving ecosystem and proposing a fragile possibility of new balance.

The programme moves between works by Philip Glass, Moondog, Erik Satie, Aphex Twin, Brian Eno, John Cage and other composers, creating an immersive, meditative and physical soundscape that invites listeners to drift in and out. A prelude DJ set by Camille Rhonat opens the evening, framing the transition from ambient textures to focused piano minimalism.
Singer-songwriter Zora offers an intimate acoustic set that unfolds like a suspended reverie.

Sparse arrangements and natural resonance create a fragile, luminous atmosphere, transporting listeners into a contemplative evening of honest storytelling and soft, emotive soundscapes.

The staging transforms ritual into a manifesto of survival, blending physical rigor, collective solidarity and poetic testimony to renew the score as a cry for life.
