What to expect
Experience an exceptional musical evening with “Beethoven, the 7th”, a concert promising emotion, virtuosity, and total immersion into the world of the German composer. This rare event will plunge you into two timeless masterpieces: the Piano Concerto No. 1 and the Symphony No. 7, two works as powerful as they are refined, performed with passion and precision. For classical music lovers, curious culture seekers, or audiences looking for an extraordinary artistic experience, this concert is not to be missed.
🎼 Beethoven as you’ve never heard him before
🎹 An outstanding performance
On the program, a brilliant opening with Piano Concerto No. 1, Beethoven’s youthful work, here brought to life by the dazzling talent of pianist Sunwook Kim. Winner of prestigious international competitions, Kim is renowned for his ability to combine finesse, power, and depth in his interpretation of the classical repertoire. He offers a reading that is both subtle and exuberant of this joyful and elegant concerto, reflecting the fervor of the young Beethoven.
Then, one of the most striking works in the classical repertoire takes center stage: Symphony No. 7. Described by Richard Wagner as “the apotheosis of the dance,” this symphony embodies vital energy, rhythmic pulse, and Beethovenian optimism. It will be performed here on period instruments, allowing the audience to rediscover the work in its most authentic version. This historical approach, carried out by the Insula orchestra and Insula camerata, gives the symphony a new dimension, full of nuances and contrast.
👩🎼 Prestigious performers
The concert is conducted by Laurence Equilbey, a conductor recognized for her rigor, artistic sense, and commitment to historically informed performance. Founder of the Insula orchestra, she has built an ensemble that combines technical excellence with musicological exploration. The double orchestra formed with the Insula camerata gives this concert a rare sonic breadth, especially in the most vibrant movements of the symphony.
One of the major attractions of this evening lies in the dialogue between piano and orchestra, followed by the spectacular evolution of Symphony No. 7. All within an exceptional setting that enhances every note.
