Mozart à Paris - Insula camerata, Laurence Equilbey

To close the season, Laurence Equilbey conducts Insula camerata: the orchestra academy that Insula orchestra founded in 2025 to pass on to a new generation of young musicians – 32 instrumentalists from 12 nationalities, ages 18-30 – the practice of historically informed performance on period instruments.

On the road to Paris, the ensemble follows Mozart's footsteps. First stop at Mannheim, where the composer writes his Flute Concerto No. 1: a virtuosic and refined page entrusted to Anna Besson, whose diaphanous timbre and sovereign line deploy all its grace.

Then comes arrival in the capital. Mozart composes the Parisian Overture No. 2 and Symphony No. 31 "Paris" there, designed to seduce through its scope and brilliance. Interventions from Ballet Preljocaj Junior accompany this itinerary, extending the orchestra's energy in movement.

An evening celebrating both Mozart's genius and the future of historical performance—carried by a generation of musicians at the beginning of a great adventure. Duration: 1h15 without intermission PROGRAM MOZART Parisian Overture No. 2 Flute Concerto No. 1 Symphony No. 31 "Paris"
