World premiere of Contre-jour le jour by Georges Aperghis
Each new symphonic work by Georges Aperghis is always eagerly awaited, especially in these post-Covid times, and particularly when it is paired with the undeniable talents of singer Lionel Peintre and conductor Daniele Gatti.
On 4 December in Rome, the two eminent artists will stand alongside the Accademia Filarmonica Romana for the premiere of the composer's last orchestral piece, Contre-jour le jour.

BOOK RELEASE
Né sous un piano (Born under a piano) is the portrait of a musician torn, both between creation and action, and between tradition and modernity, who benefited from a double education, academic at the Paris Conservatory, and innovative in the emerging structures dedicated to contemporary music. This writing, the first to exist on Michel Decoust, seeks to testify to the consistency and relevance of his career as a man and as a creator.
