]]> Reinoud Van Mechelen and his ensemble a nocte temporis have already demonstrated their affinity with the repertoire of Rameau. A new project brings them closer once again to the great French composer of the 17th century with the famous Pygmalion, a one-act ballet created in 1748. In collaboration with the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles and the Grand Manège in Namur, they present a historically informed version, benefiting from the work of musicologists on the art of singing and orchestral practices of the time.

But that’s not all! During the three performances given in Namur (Grand Manège, on November 28, 2024), Bruges (Concertgebouw Brugge, on November 29), and finally in the Salon d’Hercule of the Château de Versailles (on December 2), another work is on the program: Zémide by Iso. Created in 1756, this piece did not establish a lasting place in the repertoire, even though it represents the aesthetic of Louis XV‘s reign and also the influence of his favorite, the Marquise de Pompadour. For this rediscovery, Benoît Dratwicki (artistic director of the CMBV) has recomposed missing parts.

]]> While enjoying an exemplary career, the young French pianist Jonathan Fournel (winner of the 2021 Queen Elisabeth of Belgium International Music Competition) is continuing his meteoric rise. After a recent recital at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the holy of holies of concert halls, he returns to Beethoven at the Concertgebouw in Bruges this time, with the triple concerto, which he performs alongside Timothy Chooi on violin and Hayoung Choi on cello, other rising stars of the younger generation. Music lovers will then follow him to Vienna where he performs a Schubert, Franck and Szymanowski recital at the Konzerthaus on 29 May 2024.
