Gewandhausorchester Leipzig

Booking Required

Andris Nelsons conducts the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig in a programme pairing Dvořák’s Cello Concerto with Brahms’s Symphony No. 1. Soloist Gautier Capuçon shapes Dvořák’s lyrical lines with warmed, sonorous phrasing while the orchestra provides broad, shimmering support. Nelsons’s precise pacing and the ensemble’s rich string textures move from intimate lyricism to sweeping Romantic drama. Subtle orchestral colours highlight tensions and release, drawing listeners into a concentrated, emotionally charged musical journey.

Listening Salon with Ta Ka Dim

Performances

Buvette IASP

Ta Ka Dim is an intercultural musical project that connects the spiritual depth of Hindustani classical music with the expressive intensity of flamenco guitar. Vocalist She Rose (Namrata), trained in the ancient Dhrupad tradition, shapes sound through breath, resonance and sustained tone. Sound engineer and guitarist Yann Sauvin contributes flamenco nuance and real-time sonic sculpting. The programme unfolds through improvisation and close dialogue, creating a meditative, luminous atmosphere that bridges ritual, travel and oral transmission.

Les Voüéces

Performances

Théâtre de l'Orangerie

Directed by Louis Bonard, Les Voüéces follows two reclusive women, Rodogonde and Frénéjus, who live atop a high tower. Louis Bonard and Michèle Gurtner wrote and perform a piece in an enchanted pseudo‑medieval tongue where voice, embroidery and play weave a poetic fable. The performance probes silence, the passage of time, guilt and the unsettling presence of other voices — ghostly, culpable or absurd — with a blend of darkness and dark humour.

In French.

The Wheel of Fortune

Performances

Théâtre de l'Orangerie

Two unexpected deities arrive by bicycle, guided by a capricious GPS, carrying a very serious object: the Wheel of Fortune. They need the audience—especially children—to spin the wheel and together invent a story about a child to whom nothing seems to go right. Misfortunes pile up, luck sticks to the sneakers and solutions must be imagined. A participatory musical tale where chance and imagination shape a different story each time.

In French. Kids ages 5 and up.
