What to expect

La rentrée culturelle s’annonce brillante avec un rendez-vous à ne pas manquer pour tous les amoureux de musique classique : le concert Beethoven / Bruch, proposé par l’Insula Orchestra sous la direction inspirée de Laurence Equilbey.

Plus qu’un simple concert, c’est une expérience musicale immersive qui vous attend.

Immerse Yourself in an Exceptional Musical Evening at La Seine Musicale

A Rare and Striking Program

The concert program stands out for its balance between symphonic power and intimate lyricism. It opens with Die Loreley, a dramatic overture by Max Bruch inspired by the famous German legend. This will be followed by one of the few concertos written for such a unique combination: clarinet and viola. Also composed by Bruch, the piece will spotlight two outstanding soloists: Pierre Génisson on clarinet and Miguel da Silva on viola.

In the second half, prepare to be swept away by the epic intensity of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, arguably the composer’s most iconic work. Its four legendary notes – “ta-ta-ta-taa” – embody the struggle against fate and the triumph of the human spirit. This timeless masterpiece will be performed in a particularly ambitious version, featuring not only the Insula Orchestra, but also the young talents of the Insula Camerata, a new orchestral academy founded to nurture emerging musicians.

Bold and Committed Artistic Direction

At the podium, Laurence Equilbey brings her luminous vision of classical music. Renowned for her rigorous musical choices and pioneering work with period instruments, she offers a sensitive and historically informed reinterpretation of the Romantic repertoire. Her bold decision to unite two orchestras on the same stage—blending experience with youth—adds rare educational and artistic depth to the concert.

This project is fully aligned with La Seine Musicale’s mission to democratize culture, combining artistic excellence with accessibility. It pays tribute to musical heritage while opening the stage to a new generation of performers. For the audience, it's a chance to rediscover major works from a fresh perspective.
