Don’t miss: RadiRo Festival Orchestre National de France

On September 27, classics music lovers will have the opportunity to see and hear the Orchestre National de France under the wand of Vassilly Sinaisky.

According to the official page of the festival, the Orchestre National de France was the first permanent symphony orchestra to be established in France in 1934, under the auspices of Radio France. Throughout its history of performing French and world compositions, recordings and tours, the Orchestre National de France has given concerts in the company of exceptional artists, testifying once more its commitment to excellence. Sergiu Celibidache, who was the Orchestra’s first Guest Conductor from 1973 to 1975, was succeeded by Lorin Maazel who became its Music Director. From 1989 to 1998, Jeffrey Tate was the Principal Guest Conductor, while Charles Dutoit was Music Director from 1991 to 2001. Starting in September 2002, Kurt Masur took over the Orchestra’s musical direction for 6 seasons until Daniele Gatti took up this position in September 2008. The orchestra is currently approaching the symphony repertoire featuring performances of French composers such Debussy, Ravel, Berlioz, as well as the complete works by Brahms, Beethoven, Mahler and Tchaikovsky. This season, Schumann’s symphonies are at focus.
