Pour débuter cette année croisée France - Lituanie, Marko Letonja nous invite à explorer les couleurs impressionnistes de Čiurlionis, compositeur majeur encore trop peu connu en France,et dont il nous propose ici le sublime poème symphonique La Mer – occasion d’annoncer également la Conférence des Nations Unies pour les Océans, qui se tiendra à Nice en juin 2025.

Si la musique de Gustav Mahler est aujourd’hui unanimement saluée et reconnue par le public le plus large, celle du compositeur lituanien Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis reste encore à découvrir. Quel visionnaire pourtant ! Cet esprit encyclopédique, aussi doué pour la peinture que pour la musique, créa avec ses poèmes symphoniques des fresques d’une beauté et d’une modernité qui n’ont rien à envier à ses contemporains. Sa Mer est d’ailleurs antérieure de deux ans à celle de Debussy ! Avec la Symphonie n°4 de Mahler et ses propres paysages,un concert qui s’annonce envoûtant.

To kick off this France-Lithuania year, Marko Letonja invites us to explore the impressionist colours of Čiurlionis, a major composer who is still too little known in France, and whose sublime symphonic poem The Sea he presents here - also an opportunity to announce the United Nations Conference on the Oceans, to be held in Nice in June 2025.
 
While the music of Gustav Mahler is today unanimously acclaimed and recognised by the widest possible audience, that of Lithuanian composer Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis has yet to be discovered. What a visionary though! This encyclopaedic mind, as gifted at painting as he was at music, created with his symphonic poems frescoes of a beauty and modernity that have nothing to envy his contemporaries. In fact, Sa Mer predates Debussy's by two years! With Mahler's Symphony No. 4 and his own landscapes, it promises to be a spellbinding concert.
