Festival Musica à Strasbourg

Oscar Bianchi has just added Ajna Concerto, his first piece for large orchestra, to a cycle consisting of Matra (cantata premiered in Strasbourg in 2007) and two brilliant scores for instrumental ensemble (Anahata Concerto and Vishuddha Concerto). Drawing from the same Indian philosophical sources and demonstrating the same virtuosity, this creation reflects the composer’s character which is as bubbly as it is spiritual.

Bertrand Blier has chosen from Pascal Dusapin’s catalogue of works two of his solos for orchestra Apex and Reverso,  two pieces for piano A quia (piano concerto) and one of the seven piano studies (Etude n°2) as well as his operatorio entitled La Melancholia.

This eagerly-awaited film, featuring Jean Dujardin et Albert Dupontel, will also feature Durand-published pieces by Maurice Ravel and Bohuslav Martinu as well as the music by Les Yeux Noirs, Claudio Monteverdi, Leonard Cohen and Nina Simone.

Bertrand Blier, scenarist and director presents his film with these words: “It’s the story of a man who is visited by his cancer. «Hello, says the cancer, I am your cancer. I thought that it would be good to get acquainted".
