Place aux jeunes à la Cité de la Musique

Von Pierre Liscia-Beaurenaut, 19. Dezember 2016

Pour l’Orchestre Français des Jeunes, dont les effectifs sont renouvelés chaque année, ce concert à la Cité de la Musique était le dernier de la saison, après un mois de travail estival et deux tournées en France et en Europe. Le temps de la scène fut donc également, pour les jeunes musiciens, celui des adieux ; mais ils furent de ceux qui réjouissent, la ferveur du moment se conjugant au plaisir du jeu.
