A series of concert-events for these three evenings where the art of a master of orchestral colours, Tchaikovsky, resonates with the universe of a new generation of female composers and conductors.

It is undoubtedly the motif of Fatum (Fate) that unites Tchaikovsky's last three symphonies, prey to the heartbreak of a tormented personal life and seeking in religious faith a vain consolation. The Fourth deploys this dialectic between destiny and idealism, offering fleeting respites in dreamy intoxication or the echoes of a popular festival; the Fifth, with its matrix theme of a fateful march, deals with the conflict between existential anguish and the aspiration to salvation through religion; the Sixth, known as "The Pathetic," only came to prominence after the composer's suicide. In this work, the most moving effusion rubs shoulders with abysses of revolt and pain. Lyrical and prodigiously expressive, Tchaikovsky sweeps his audience along in the sincerity of his approach: a lesson in commitment for posterity. 

Each of these three symphonies is preceded by a section of the triptych (Hedera helix) composed by the young composer Claire-Mélanie Sinnhuber, served by the finest conductors crowned by the La Maestra competition: a tribute of contemporary renewal to a 19th century giant.

Série de concerts-événements pour ces trois soirées ou l’art d’un maître des couleurs orchestrales, Tchaïkovski, entre en résonance avec l’univers d’une nouvelle génération de compositrices et de cheffes.  

C’est incontestablement le motif du fatum qui réunit les trois dernières Symphonies de Tchaïkovski, en proie aux déchirements d’une vie intime tourmentée et cherchant dans la foi une vaine consolation. La Quatrième déploie cette dialectique entre destinée et idéalisme, offrant de fugitives rémissions dans l’ivresse rêveuse ou les échos d’une fête populaire ; la Cinquième, avec son thème matriciel de marche fatidique, traite du conflit entre angoisse existentielle et aspiration au salut par la religion ; la Sixième, dite « Pathétique », ne connut la gloire qu’après le suicide du compositeur : la plus émouvante effusion y côtoie des abîmes de révolte et de douleur. Lyrique et prodigieusement expressif, Tchaïkovski emporte son auditoire dans la sincérité de sa démarche : leçon d’engagement pour la postérité. 

Chacune de ces trois symphonies est précédée d’un pan du triptyque (Hedera helix) composé par Claire-Mélanie Sinnhuber, servi par les plus fines baguettes couronnées par le concours La Maestra : hommage d’un renouveau contemporain à un géant du dix-neuvième siècle.

Dans le cadre de l'Académie La Maestra avec le soutien du fonds Chanel pour les femmes dans les arts et dans la culture
