The great violist Tabea Zimmermann, icon of a generation of artists, will receive the Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung Prize on June 15. She really wanted this presentation to be the setting for the premiere of Georges Aperghis’ Migrants-Aria, for solo viola and ensemble. A world premiere performed by Ensemble Resonanz conducted by Emilio Pomarico whose path has also crossed with talent for years that of the composer. To be continued on screen - emotion guaranteed!

Le Premier Cercle, the famous opera by Gilbert Amy, returns on June 2 and 4 at the Opéra de Massy with this game of redistricting and rearranging, like its inspiration, the no less famous eponymous novel by Alexandre Soljenitsyne of which we know how many it has been the object of transformations over the course of its multiple editions. Reoriented from its initial version of 1999 on a few essential protagonists, the theatrical action will focus on the “very first” circle of the concentration camp environment so particular to the dark years of Stalinism. A hymn to interior freedom and human rights to be discovered
