About

On November 15, 2026, La Seine Musicale presents the concert-éveil Beethoven and Nature. This 45-minute event is designed for children aged 4 and up, offering an introduction to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 Pastoral. Under the baton of Félix Benati, the Orchestre Colonne also performs a world premiere by composer Darius Birotheau, featuring soloist Aurélien Boireau. Tickets are priced at 20€, with a 10€ reduced rate available. Hosted by Julie Terranti, the concert runs from 10:30 to 11:15 and provides a sensory journey into the sounds of the natural world, perfectly suited for young listeners experiencing orchestral music.

What if nature entered the concert hall... just for your ears?
With Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 "Pastoral", music comes to life and tells of landscapes: the murmur of a stream, the joyful dances of a village, the sudden burst of a storm, and then the return to calm.

Throughout the concert, children are invited to listen, feel, and imagine: to recognize the sounds of these bucolic scenes, follow the emotions of the music, and let themselves be carried away by the images that Beethoven brings to life with his orchestra.

So, are you ready to hear this world awaken to the sounds of instruments?

During this concert, we make way for the talents of tomorrow with a creation for flute and orchestra by a young composer, Darius Birotheau, performed by Aurélien Boireau, winner of the 2026 Édouard Colonne competition!

Édouard Colonne competition supported by partners: AJ – Atelier des Cuivres, Atelier Coquoz, Le Petit Vitrezay, Sebim, Talents & Violon’celles.

Recommended for ages 4 and up
