Le onde del destino

Performed by Nicolas Ellis, Les Violons du Roy, Pentaèdre and the Academy's chamber orchestra interns, this concert offers a journey through expression and passion. Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture, inspired by the dramatic landscapes of Scotland, immediately immerses the audience in a spellbinding world of sound, followed by Saint-Saëns' Piano Concerto No. 2, in which pianist Élisabeth Pion magnifies the finesse and power of this virtuoso masterpiece. The evening concludes with Schubert's ‘Tragic’ Symphony, which displays all the composer's emotional depth in a work of great intensity.
