Folk Songs at Paris Philharmonic
A nostalgic, raw classical night.
The Orchestre national d'Île-de-France presents a program exploring the relationship between classical composition and traditional folk music. The evening features Bartók's Hungarian Sketches, a masterful orchestration of his piano pieces inspired by Magyar peasant songs. Luciano Berio's evocative Folk Songs, performed by mezzo-soprano Iva Bittová, reinterprets oral traditions from across the globe. The concert concludes with Brahms' Serenade no. 2 in A major, a work notable for its rich, wind-focused textures and intimate pastoral character.
