Présentation

La session d’hiver rassemble les musiciens de l’été précédent
qui se retrouvent quelques jours pour reprendre une partie du programme estival et travailler des nouvelles œuvres sans répétitions en pupitres.

Ce fonctionnement est celui des orchestres professionnels qui, en très peu
de temps, préparent un programme de concert constitué d’œuvres à leur répertoire et d’œuvres nouvelles.

SESSION D'HIVER 2023

La session d'hiver 2023 se déroulera du 29 novembre au 7 décembre 2023.

Les répétitions auront lieu à l'Opéra de Dijon, dans le cadre de la résidence de l'Orchestre en région Bourgogne Franche-Comté en partenariat avec la Saline royale d'Arc et Senans.

Alexandre Tharaud, Piano

His extraordinary discography of over 25 solo albums, most of which received major awards from the music press, features repertoire ranging from Couperin, Bach and Scarlatti, through Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Brahms, and Rachmaninov to the major 20^th century French composers. The breadth of his artistic endeavours is also reflected in collaborations with theatre makers, dancers, choreographers, writers and film makers, as well as with singer-songwriters and musicians outside the realm of classical music.

Alexandre is a sought-after soloist, appearing with many of the world’s leading orchestras: upcoming highlights include concerto performances with the Orchestre de Paris, Orchestre National de France, NAC Orchestra Ottawa, Les Violons du Roy, BBC Scottish Symphony, Beethoven Orchester Bonn, Zurich Kammerorchester, and the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra. Recent concerto engagements include the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Royal Concertgebouworkest, Cleveland and Philadelphia Orchestras, Cincinnati Symphony, London Philharmonic, hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt, and Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.

As a recitalist, Alexandre Tharaud is a regular guest at the world’s most prestigious venues. This and next season’s highlights include recitals at the Philharmonie de Paris, King’s Place London, Frankfurt Alte Oper, Bayreuth, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Casa da Música Porto, Zankel Hall and extensive touring in Japan, China and Korea.

Alexandre is an exclusive recording artist of Erato Records. In September 2020, he will release ‘French Melody’ with Sabine Devieilhe — with subsequent tour dates at Wigmore Hall, La Monnaie, Concertgebouw, Berlin Philharmonie, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées and Teatro alla Scala, among others — while in October 2020, ‘Le Poète du Piano’ will be released. This will feature some of Alexandre’s best-known recordings on one album. His discography reflects an eclectic affinity to many musical styles, with recent recordings including Versailles, which pays tribute to composers associated with the courts of the French kings Louis XIV, XV and XVI, a tribute to singer-songwriter Barbara, a Brahms duo album with Jean-Guihen Queyras (a regular chamber music partner for 20 years), and Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 2. Over the course of his career he has made critically acclaimed recordings of Rameau, Scarlatti, Bach’s Goldberg Variations and Italian Concerto, Beethoven’s three final sonatas, Chopin’s 24 Preludes, and Ravel’s complete piano works.

In 2017, Alexandre published Montrez-moi vos mains, an introspective and engaging account of daily life as a pianist. He had previously co-authored Piano Intime, with journalist Nicolas Southon. He is the subject of a film directed by Swiss film maker Raphaëlle Aellig-Régnier: Alexandre Tharaud, Le Temps Dérobé, and appeared in the role of the pianist “Alexandre” in Michael Hanneke’s celebrated 2012 film Amour.
