We are in the inconceivable, but with dazzling landmarks.
René Char,
Designed as an alternative to the concert outing, usually scheduled in the evening or in the 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 « l’esprit Châtelet », with a program that is both demanding, eclectic and popular, these meetings 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 personality from the world of art or letters, the Sunday Morning Concerts are conceived as an original musical moment, where renowned performers engage in the dialogue between the arts and society, for an approach that is both sensitive, informed and enlightened to the concert.
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 nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This program emphasizes contemplation and reflection, with an accessible approach for everyone. Also underlying, as suggested by the excerpt from the letter written by the 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 du Théâtre du Châtelet.
