This chamber concert is entirely dedicated to French music, ranging stylistically from the romantic sound language of Camille Saint-Saëns to the colorful creations of the Impressionists Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel to the haunting yet contemplative prayer settings of St. Francis of Assisi by Francis Poulenc. Members of the MDR ensembles showcase their versatility and artistic range in this program – a listening pleasure à la française!

À la française

Augustusplatz

Four artists, two companies and two disciplines: theater and dance, united by a shared passion: sports. Four solos reveal the intimate and universal bonds we form with our idols.

Soli-Mania

Gymnase des Korrigans

Launch of the first album by the Innu soprano from Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Élisabeth St-Gelais, dedicated to the masters of French melody. Entitled Infini after the melody of the French composer, Cécile Chaminade, the album also includes melodies by Bizet, Duparc, Poulenc and Saint-Saëns.
