Le nouveau concert des quatre mondes

Alongside Eric Penso on piano, six young virtuosos (clarinetists; saxophonist; violinist; cellist; flutist) will take you on a journey through four musical worlds (classical, jazz, bossa, klezmer) in a brand-new program. Pieces from the standard repertoire alternate with original compositions in this unusual concert, which engages with the audience and celebrates the passing on of a shared passion for music between two generations.
