🎶 Experience the sacred splendor of Mozart and Bach at La Seine Musicale
✨ An inspired program, between emotion and majesty
This rare and meticulously crafted program brings together two masterpieces of sacred music. C. P. E. Bach’s Magnificat, composed by the son of J. S. Bach, opens the concert with radiant fervor and dramatic breadth. Seldom performed in concert, this work surprises with its modernity and rich expressiveness.
It is followed by Mozart’s sublime Coronation Mass, one of his most beloved liturgical works. Written in 1779 in Salzburg—and reportedly performed during imperial ceremonies—it earned its evocative nickname. With its solemn choral writing, lyrical outbursts, and luminous orchestral pages, this Mass is a high point of the classical sacred repertoire. The Agnus Dei, in particular, resonates with profound tenderness reminiscent of the “Dove sono” aria from The Marriage of Figaro.
👩🎼 A director of reference and top-tier performers
Under the baton of Laurence Equilbey, a leading figure in European music, the performance is guaranteed to be sensitive and rigorous. With her Insula Orchestra, specializing in period instruments, and the renowned accentus choir, she delivers an interpretation that is both authentic to the original style and alive with vitality and human emotion.
Joining them are four esteemed vocal soloists: Sandrine Piau (soprano), Rose Naggar‑Tremblay (alto), Fabio Trümpy (tenor), and Alexander Grassauer (bass). Their voices will bring this luminous and emotionally charged evening to life.
🏛 A stunning architectural setting
The concert will be held in the Auditorium at La Seine Musicale, an architectural gem on Île Seguin in Boulogne‑Billancourt. Designed to resemble a ship floating on the Seine, this iconic venue boasts remarkable acoustics and exceptional comfort. The Auditorium’s intimate layout ensures rare proximity to the performers, allowing full immersion in the sound.
