(c) Orchestre de Chambre de Paris Equinox: Chamber Music at Salle Cortot
Paris, Salle Cortot — Main Hall
About the Event
The equinox marks that precious moment when day and night are in balance before the cycle reverses. It is a turning point, a threshold where the light softens or intensifies. This program, performed by the wind quintet, traverses a complete cycle between light and darkness. In his Wind Quintet, Nielsen highlights each instrument while creating an ensemble of remarkable stability: this is the day at its zenith. The mood shifts with Barber’s *Summer Music*. The composer captures the atmosphere of a fading afternoon, the strange gentleness that precedes twilight. In the dead of night, Sciarrino’s soundscape—built on the performers’ breath and the use of jarring playing techniques—brings forth a mysterious and unsettling nature. Medaglia’s suite *Belle‐Epoque in Sud America* reintroduces light through its dancing energy and vibrant colors. As after the equinox, a new season begins—more vivid, more contrasting.
