"We are in the inconceivable, but with dazzling landmarks."
René Char,
Thought of as an alternative to the usual concert outing, usually scheduled in the evening or morning but never before three o’clock, the Sunday Morning Concerts offer an off‑the‑beaten‑path format for the whole family. Rooted in the "Châtelet spirit," with a program that is both demanding, eclectic and popular, these events are built around a simple and accessible format: one hour of music, uninterrupted, punctuated by an introduction and a reading where poetry, literature and philosophy alternate.
Placed under the patronage of a figure from the world of art or letters, the Sunday Morning Concerts are conceived as an original musical moment, where renowned performers engage in a dialogue between the arts and society, for an approach that is both sensitive, informed and enlightened.
For this second edition at the Théâtre du Châtelet, the program is organized around four events, from the chamber music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to the solo cello work of Jean‑Sébastien Bach, including a tribute to Ludwig van Beethoven and a look at the solo piano repertoire of the xixe and xxe centuries. This programming emphasizes contemplation and reflection, with an accessible approach for everyone. In the background as well, and as suggested by the excerpt from the letter written by poet and resistance fighter René Char to his friend Francis Curel during the Second World War, the Sunday Morning Concerts are, first and foremost, an invitation to ecstasy, in the beautiful setting that is the Grande Salle of the Théâtre du Châtelet.
