Family ropes

According to a study based on names, individuals named Franz tend to be dreamy and original, often spending most of their time writing or painting, and their imagination often surpasses reason... Without falling into stereotypes, it's hard to ignore that many composers have had this name, including Franz Schubert and Franz Liszt, but also Franz Joseph Haydn, the Belgian Franz Constant, and others in the Francis, François, or Ferenc family of names! An eclectic family to (re)discover in the company of some musicians from the OPRL!

100% Franz

Salle Philharmonique de Liège

This is a concert entirely dedicated to one of the greatest composers of the 19th century  . Born in Pesaro (on the Adriatic coast) in 1792 and died in Paris in 1868, Gioachino Rossini is the author of some of the most famous operas in the world. Five string players from the OPRL join forces to resonate the well-known themes from the overtures to The Barber of Seville and William Tell , but also to rediscover Rossini's chamber music through duets and sonatas, all presented with humor and lightness by Pierre Solot, exceptionally borrowed from the Music Factory series.
