Classical session

The classical session commences on October 28th at the Saline royale in Arc-et-Senans, under the direction of Amandine Beyer, who makes her debuts alongside the orchestra. The classical session allows the musicians to come together in half the usual ensemble size, focusing on repertoire from the 18th century (Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, etc.). Over the course of a week, the orchestra will work with trainers specialized in historically informed practices and orchestras dedicated to this repertoire. Brass sections, for example, will have the opportunity to try out 18th-century instruments, while string sections will work with 18th-century bows. All musicians will have the opportunity to explore questions of editing and interpretation.
