Synopsis
Following the ballet The Dante Project in 2023, the opera The Exterminating Angel in 2024, and the Piano Concerto performed during a tour in San Sebastián (Spain) and Saint-Jean-de-Luz in 2025, the Paris Opera Orchestra once again turns to the music of contemporary composer Thomas Adès for this symphonic concert at the Philharmonie de Paris.
Joined by violinist Leila Josefowicz and conducted by the composer himself, the Orchestra will perform his Violin Concerto, subtitled Concentric Paths. Composed in 2005, this three-movement work explores the notions of cycles and repetition.
Thomas Adès’s music will be heard alongside two masterpieces of the symphonic repertoire: Maurice Ravel’s celebrated Valses nobles et sentimentales, with their modern, incisive style, and Edward Elgar’s eloquent Symphony No. 1, which moves between passion and serenity.
