About

A concert where fantasy reigns, around the music by two great masters of the 20th century. Stravinsky’s Pulcinella does not seem to have been written 100 years ago and what’s more based on music three times older, from the 18th century. In this key work of neoclassicism, the atmosphere is always humorous and fun intertwined with dance moves, hence its name, after a character from the Italian commedia dell'arte. Children's imagination is revisited by Maurice Ravel in Ma Mère l’Oye, a piece dedicated in 1908 to the children of a couple he was friends with. Originally written for four-hand piano to “evoke the poetry of childhood” from children's tales, it is presented in this programme in the orchestral version that the composer created later, bringing us the fantastic colour of the worlds of Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Tom Thumb and other nooks of this place of memory that we all keep.
