ONE SPRING MORNING | BOULANGER | FRANCK
Chamber music at the Salle Cortot! 🌸 A musical interlude between the brightness of spring and the shadows of evening.
Salle Cortot (Paris 17th)
About
Two faces of music: ardor and melancholy.
At only 19 years old, Lili Boulanger became the first woman to win the prestigious Prix de Rome. A few years later, she composed D’un matin de printemps (Of a Spring Morning) and D’un soir triste (Of a Sad Evening), two works that seem to respond to each other like two sides of the same story: one full of momentum and light, the other darker and melancholic.
Surrounding these works, César Franck’s Quintet immerses us in intense and passionate French music, balanced between lyricism, emotion, and contrast.
Listening keys, a mediation will be offered at the beginning of the concert.
