Let It B — Bach, Britten & Beethoven

Booking Required

Under the direction of Sergey Ostrovsky, this classical concert pairs luminous Baroque textures with 20th-century intimacy. Flutist Natan C’zorzi brings warmth to Bach’s orchestral suite, while Sarah Pagin’s soprano and Noémie Bialobroda’s alto deliver Britten’s vocal cycles with expressive clarity. The programme culminates in a delicate string-orchestra arrangement of Beethoven’s late quartet, offering a contemplative, chamber-like sound. The evening balances technical finesse and emotional depth, inviting attentive listening in a refined acoustic setting.

One Thing After Another

Performances

Théâtre de l'Orangerie

Join a playful builder who improvises a strange home in a garden. With brave, clever ropes and found objects she moves from one idea to the next, sometimes wild, sometimes stubborn, slowly assembling a surprising structure. Children will watch materials cooperate or resist, feel the rhythm of making, and wonder whether everything will collapse or turn into accidental genius. A lively, physical performance that celebrates imagination, trial and joyful experimentation.

In French. Ages 6 and up.
