Presented by the Choeur de Paris

An exceptional concert of passion and emotion! Let yourself be captivated by a concert where the boundaries between styles fade away, giving way to an intense and unforgettable musical experience. The first half will introduce you to Martín Palmeri's Misa Tango, a work that has become a must-have in the contemporary repertoire. A true encounter between liturgical tradition and the soul of Argentinian tango, this mass blends the depth of the sacred text with the sensuality of Buenos Aires rhythms. Carried by a choir, soloists, an orchestra, and the enchanting sound of the bandoneon, it alternates moments of contemplation, bursts of passion, and flashes of virtuosity, offering a palette of emotions of rare intensity. In the second half, we turn to George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess, an emblematic masterpiece that revolutionised the history of music in the 20th century. By bringing together opera, jazz, blues, spirituals, and symphonic music, Gershwin composed a deeply human fresco, celebrating love, hope, resilience, and solidarity. The most famous arias, including Summertime, Bess, You Is My Woman Now, and It Ain’t Necessarily So, are now among the most moving and popular pages of the American repertoire. To give full force to these two masterful works, laureates of the Les Voix des Outre-mer competition will bring their talent, sensitivity, and exceptional stage presence. Revealing the most beautiful voices from France's overseas territories, these artists brilliantly embody the excellence, diversity, and renewal of the French lyrical scene. A concert where cultures, traditions, and emotions meet, carried by exceptional performers and a programme that celebrates the richness of music in all its universality. An unmissable event for music lovers, fans of beautiful voices, and all those who wish to live an experience
