Le cycle musical de Paul Serri au Théâtre de la Concorde !

This music cycle invites audiences to discover the great works of the classical repertoire through listening, exchange and emotion. An accessible and sensitive approach to enter the heart of musical creation and of what it says about our humanity.

Conceived by violinist Paul Serri, this cycle continues its exploration of the great works of the repertoire by combining teaching, interpretation and listening.

Each session offers the chance to discover a score through its historical context, the choices of the performers and the emotions it carries, before hearing it performed in full. This season, Beethoven will be one of the common threads of the programme.

A composer profoundly marked by the ideals of liberty and emancipation, he never ceased to push back the boundaries of musical creation.

His works will enter into dialogue with those of César Franck, Brahms and Chostakovitch, offering as many perspectives on the great questions that run through our lives: trust, memory, commitment, doubt and hope.

Led by Paul Serri, the Katok Ensemble and many guest artists, these educational concerts are aimed as much at knowledgeable music lovers as at those who wish to discover classical music differently: as a living, shared and deeply contemporary experience.

Programme Saturday 26 September • 17h Beethoven – String Quartet No. 8 in E minor, Op. 59 No. 2 Rasoumovski Paul Serri & Katok Ensemble Throughout the season, Beethoven will be one of the common threads of our musical journey.

Across several sessions devoted to his string quartets, we will follow the evolution of a composer whose work continues, more than two centuries after its creation, to speak to us with undiminished force.

A profoundly humanist figure, carried by the ideals of liberty, equality and emancipation of his time, Beethoven never ceased to push the limits of musical writing.

True laboratories of creation, his quartets will allow us to discover the richness of his musical thought and the extraordinary trajectory of an artist who profoundly transformed the history of music.
