Chamber music at the Salle Cortot: From sun to night, a journey without leaving your seat.
Salle Cortot (Paris 17th)
About
From broad daylight to night… and from night to light.
Imagine an entire day told without words.
The sun is high in the sky. Then the light slowly fades. Evening arrives, night settles in… and suddenly, new colors appear.
With a wind quintet, this concert takes us on a journey between light and darkness, softness and mystery, calm and energy.
From Nielsen to Barber, from Sciarrino to Medaglia, each piece of music changes the atmosphere.
A concert to listen to like watching a landscape change.
Our take on this event
Watch a musical soundscape evolve as the melodies shift from high-noon brilliance to the velvet textures of twilight. Through the interplay of woodwinds, each piece mimics the way a landscape breathes and changes when the sun dips below the horizon. A perfect escape for those who want to experience the drama of nature through the subtlety of classical chamber music.
