Orchestre de chambre de Lausanne

Renaud Capuçon is taking on a baton in addition to his bow as he was recently named artistic director of the Orchestre de chambre de Lausanne. Never one to shy away from a challenge, he has chosen an original, demanding programme that blends Viennese traditionalism with modernity.

The classical side includes Mozart’s Concerto for Flute, Harp and Orchestra where Mathilde Calderini and Anneleen Lenaerts will enter into a lively, deep-rooted exchange with the woody sounds of the orchestra. Next comes Schubert’s 5th Symphony, which is, without a doubt, his most playful and most “Mozartian” work. La Sindone by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, one of the most played living composers on the planet, proposes a meditation on the Turin Shroud where the music goes from dark, painful depths to the redemptive appearance of the light.
