Reaching New Heights!
For the first time, the Paris Mozart Orchestra will be performing at the Festival Messiaen au Pays de la Meije — a landmark event in France’s contemporary music scene, created in honor of composer Olivier Messiaen.
Claire Gibault will lead a program that brings together the music of Orlando Bass — recipient of the 2023 Olivier Messiaen Grand Prize — and the words of writer Erik Orsenna in a powerful artistic dialogue.
This debut at the Festival Messiaen is a meaningful milestone for the Paris Mozart Orchestra, reflecting its deep commitment to living music, contemporary creation, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. We’re proud to be part of such a bold and inspiring program!
