The symphonic re-entry at the Auditorium du Nouveau Siècle in Lille will be placed under the sign of creation and coherence: two works (including a world premiere) signed by the composer Alex Nante, in residence at the Orchestre Français des Jeunes, traditionally invited to present his work to the Lille public at the start of the season, and to the Orchestre national de Lille.

On September 7, it's La pérégrination vers l’Ouest  (Ile de Créations prize in 2018), inspired by the famous literary masterpiece of the Ming period, that the young Argentinian composer will present himself to the Lille public - who will be able to find this very particular style, alternating subtlety of colors, melodic plasticity and harmonic dazzling, during the opening weekend of the season of the Orchestre national de Lille on September 23 and 24 it'sSinfonía del cuerpo de luz, a work for big orchestra whose structure, melodic and harmonic material is inspired by the esoteric conception of the sūkṣmaśarīra or 'subtle body' "(Alex Nante). Dedicated to George Benjamin, the work will have the chance to be premiered by the always inspired conductor Alexandre Bloch.
