Under the dual leadership of Sergey Ostrovsky, who conducts and performs as violin soloist, this closing concert presents Johannes Brahms’s Violin Concerto, Op. 77, alongside Felix Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3, Op. 56 “Scottish”. The program juxtaposes Brahms’s warm, introspective lyricism with Mendelssohn’s sweeping, evocative landscapes, offering a journey from intimate soloistic detail to full orchestral grandeur. Expect finely shaped phrases, radiant string tone and dramatic contrasts that highlight both virtuosity and poetic depth.
What if bagpipes, binious, and bombardes were the perfect instruments to perform Philip Glass’s music? This bold and fascinating show takes that daring leap.
With 8 SONNEURS for Philip Glass, the iconic repertoire of the pioneering American minimalist composer gains a fresh dimension: four emblematic pieces from 1969 (Two Pages, Music in Fifths, Music in Contrary Motion, Music in Similar Motion) are reimagined by traditional Breton musicians.
The result? A striking sonic alchemy where rich timbres, the continuous drone of the bagpipes, and spatial sound transform the listening experience. Glass’s music becomes living, vibrant, almost hypnotic — proving that his spirit resonates just as powerfully through the drone of traditional instruments as through synthesizers.

The concert-style performances, devoid of sets and costumes, heighten the dramatic intensity, promising unforgettable evenings.
