Sacred music meets the theatricality of opera in Handel's oratorio Messiah, here conducted by Laurence Equilbey and performed by the Insula Orchestra, Polish artist Jakub Józef Orliński and the Chœurs accentus at the Aix-en-Provence Easter Festival.

Under the baton of charismatic Finnish conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen, the Orchestre de Paris performs Olivier Messiaen's most famous work: The ambitious and beguiling Turangalîla-Symphonie.

In 1991, Laurence Equilbey's creation of Accentus revolutionized the world of vocal music. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the choir, accompanied by a quartet of top-flight soloists, gave a grand concert at the Philharmonie de Paris in March 2023. Mendelssohn, whose choral works are among the jewels of vocal music, was honored.
