With special guests Sindy Mohamed and Henri Demarquette, the Quatuor Akilone continue their exploration of both Viennese Schools through a pair of pioneering pieces. The first is Ludwig van Beethoven's String Quartet No. 16, concise, sharp, rich, and whose final exclamation "Es muss sein!" was the inspiration for everyone from Léo Ferré to Milan Kunderaz. The second piece is Arnold Schönberg's Transfigured Night, a work of symphonic poetry and a fresh and inventive new vision of chamber music.
Le Printemps des Arts - "Melodies by Debussy & Ravel"
20 marzo 2025
A foray into poetry, an art form for which Pierre Boulez developed a particular affection, and two composers whose works he conducted on numerous occasions: Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. This collection of their melodies is performed by two long-time collaborators, the bass-baritone Vincent Le Texier, and the pianist Ancuza Aprodu.
Le Printemps des Arts - "Maresz - De Falla - Manoury"
21 marzo 2025
As the founder of Ircam (the Institute for Acoustic/Musical Coordination and Research), Pierre Boulez was a master of "mixed music" combining instrumental and electronic sounds. This concert reflects that particular facet of his personality, with two major pieces that feature both piano and electronic sound, Soli by Yan Maresz and Philippe Manoury's Das Wohlpräpartierte Klavier, performed here on the keyboard by Jean-François Heisser.

Le Printemps des Arts - "Jolivet - Ravel - Cendo"
27 marzo 2025
Not merely a composer, conductor, and builder of institutions, Pierre Boulez was also a virtuoso when it came to courting controversy. This "confrontation concert" by the Ensemble Linea pits two composers against one another, one who felt the bite of Boulez' critique, the other a critic of Boulez himself. The first is André Jolivet (whose talent Boulez nonetheless acknowledged), the second Raphaël Cendo, an artist who loves to push the envelope and is known for his "saturated music" concept.
Le Printemps des Arts - "Jazz"
28 marzo 2025
The third week of the Festival will see special guest Hervé Sellin, reinterpret, recompose, and restyle works by Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel with his own inimitable brand of jazz. From the magic of Clair de Lune to the delights of the Fairy Garden, the gifted pianist will take us on a dreamlike journey, accompanied by the trumpet of his friend Claude Égéa.
Le Printemps des Arts - "Jazz"
29 marzo 2025
Hervé Sellin and his tentet perform their landmark album Marciac New-York Express, a succession of musical transatlantic trips between two jazz strongholds. This series of "jazz landscapes" evokes everything from the gently rolling hills of south-west France to the bright lights of the Big Apple… via an original composition written specially for the Printemps des Arts, inspired by Pierre Boulez.

Le Printemps des Arts - "Organ"
30 marzo 2025
Having made such a lasting impression at the Printemps des Arts in 2023, Thomas Ospital returns for what promises to be an equally memorable recital including pieces by all of the dominant figures of sacred organ music, from Johann Sebastian Bach to Olivier Messiaen and Franz Liszt. And Ospital has chosen to add Volumina, in which György Ligeti departs from tradition in a radical new exploration of the instrument's capabilities.
Le Printemps des Arts - "Dalbavie - Manoury - Hurel - Debussy - Grisey"
3 aprile 2025
Gérard Grisey, Philippe Manoury, Philippe Hurel, Marc-André Dalbavie: a quartet of composers that illustrates the wealth of French musical creativity in the wake of Pierre Boulez. Their works are performed here by the Ensemble Court-circuit in a concert bestrode by the great Claude Debussy, a true spiritual father to all.
Le Printemps des Arts - "Organ"
4 aprile 2025
Organist Éric Lebrun opens the gate to a secret Boulez garden: 17th and 18th century English music. From the first golden age of the 1620s with all its rich diversity, leaping forward a century to the effervescent art of Georg Friedrich Haendel, one of only a very few Baroque composers to have been the subject of a Boulez recording.
Le Printemps des Arts - "Family Concert"
5 aprile 2025
This musical tale follows a boy named Noah as he embarks on a quest to find Santa Claus.

Le Printemps des Arts - "Opera on Film"
6 aprile 2025
This recording made at the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence in 2007 features an iconic staging of the Leós Janáček masterpiece by Patrice Chéreau, with music conducted by the one and only Pierre Boulez. The result is a unique example of music and theatre's ability to complement one another to powerful effect, demonstrated by two giants of the operatic art.
Le Printemps des Arts - "Ravel & Messiaen"
6 aprile 2025
The 2025 Printemps des Arts will conclude - but not end - with two works that aspire to timelessness, Maurice Ravel's Trio and the dizzying Quatuor pour la fin du Temps by Olivier Messiaen. For this climax of a Festival dedicated to Pierre Boulez, the youthful talents of the Trio Pantoum and Ann Lepage will remind the audience that the conductor and composer's greatest wish was to pass on the flame to the next generation.
