In 1926, Henry Wood invited a 72-year-old Leoš Janáček to visit the Academy, where he observed an orchestral rehearsal in the Duke’s Hall. A hundred years later, we’re celebrating Janáček’s passionate, utterly original output for pianists. Students perform his complete solo piano and chamber duo music, as well as ensemble pieces including the Concertino, introduced by our Dame Myra Hess Chair of Piano, Joanna MacGregor.

The meeting between Third Coast Percussion , a GRAMMY Award- winning ensemble , and Jlin , a Pulitzer Prize -winning composer, producer, and performer , has given birth to a project that spans and revitalizes ten years of collaboration, showcasing one of the most fertile and unpredictable alliances in contemporary music. This dialogue could only have occurred in Chicago: on one side, the precision, rigor, and timbral plasticity of one of the most innovative percussion quartets on the international scene; on the other, the radical writing of Jlin, an artist originally from Gary, Indiana, who, drawing on the legacy of Chicago Footwork, has constructed a highly personal, physical, layered, polyrhythmic sonic language capable of uniting club culture, the avant-garde, and formal architecture.

“The rays of sun chase night away.” If there is an opera for everyone, an opera about the very essence of life, it’s The Magic Flute. For the first time since 2015, Iván Fischer will once again bring to the stage Mozart’s philosophical tale, where good and bad, light and darkness, right and wrong, courage and fear, wisdom and superstition, vengeance and mercy are juxtaposed. The opera, which is Mozart’s last work for the stage, is an initiation ceremony and a moral tale about the journey to adulthood. “It’s an inscrutable work of magical power,” says Fischer, who is particularly awed by the opera’s optimism, humor, playfulness, fairy tale-like quality, deep humanism, or, in a single word, complexity. The international cast includes Mozart specialists from the world’s leading opera houses, several of whom are already familiar to the BFO’s audiences.

For twenty years, the Lyon Opera has presented a lyric art festival each season, featuring three titles ranging from classical repertoire and rare works to contemporary creations. We have explored forms and themes, building editions around a composer, around social issues, or around stories set to music multiple times. We have succeeded in breaking down barriers, shaking things up, seizing the future , and most recently, betting on beauty . Each year, the arrival of spring brings a new edition. And to amplify this unifying event that fosters encounters between audiences, artists, the region, and artistic works, we have brought together several cultural partners from across the metropolitan area to design this artistic event centered on the voice. We have envisioned a series of collaborations with the Théâtre des Célestins, the Théâtre National Populaire, the Théâtre du Point du Jour, the Théâtre Nouvelle Génération, and the Villa Gillet.
