Classical session

The 2026 classical session centers on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Symphonies nos. 1 and 41 and Franz Schubert’s Lieder for orchestra, offering young musicians an immersive experience in the heart of the 18th- and early 19th-century repertoire. With Mozart’s formal clarity and vital energy and Schubert’s introspection and expressive density, the program charts a journey in which the orchestra moves from classical balance to a sensibility already turning toward Romanticism.

Directed by Guillaume Chilemme, the session welcomes the soprano Sandrine Piau for Schubert’s vocal airs, opening a subtile dialogue between the orchestra and the soprano. The musicians also have the opportunity to work this repertoire with natural instruments (horns, trumpets) in order to explore the stylistic and sound issues specific to these works.
