Elena Schwarz / Bruno Philippe
Park / Chostakovitch / Brahms

The Orchestre Philharmonique de Nice and Elena Schwarz invite us on a journey between the great classics of the repertoire and contemporary creation. After discovering the astonishing Sa-Ii (Gap of the Time) by German-Korean composer Song Aa Park, winner of the 2024 Unanimes competition, Chostakovich's Cello Concerto No. 1 plunges us into the modernity of the immediate post-war period. With his dazzling technique and poetic style, Bruno Philippe reveals the lyricism and biting irony of this landmark work of the 20th century. Brahms' Symphony No. 4, equally tragic and luminous, crowns this exceptional program.
