A resolutely festive program from the Orchestre Neojiba: after the fireworks of Katia and Marielle Labèque in Poulenc's delightful Concerto for Two Pianos, the Symphonic Dances from West Side Story explode with rhythms and colors.
The Brazilian composer Antônio Carlos Gomes, who primarily worked in the lyrical domain and achieved great success in Italy, wrote one of his most accomplished operas with Lo schiavo (premiered in 1889 in Rio). Its Prelude is symptomatic of his colorful style. Poulenc's Concerto for Two Pianos, a protean work borrowing from various prestigious predecessors (including Bach), remains emblematic of its composer for its exuberance and joy of life, only slightly nuanced by the serenity of its Mozartian slow movement. With West Side Story, Leonard Bernstein achieved his greatest triumph. The Symphonic Dances showcase the rhythmic sense, lyrical quality, and verve inherent in this irresistibly energetic music.

Grande salle Pierre Boulez - Philharmonie
The Grande salle Pierre Boulez (Symphonic Hall) boasts innovations in architecture, stage design and acoustical engineering. Thanks to a modular design, its capacity increases from 2400 people in the symphonic configuration to 3600 when the parterre is converted into a standing room area.
All five levels of the Grande salle Pierre Boulez are accessed via the entrance on Level 3 of Philharmonie, which can be reached via stairways, escalators and two lifts, with direct access from the Porte de Pantin plaza and the Philharmonie parking facility.
From the entrance, stairways and lifts inside the hall take visitors to the various levels.
The Grande Salle Pierre Boulez has thirty designated seats for people with reduced mobility.
