The 2023 edition of the yearly charity concert for the Yellow Coins foundation.

Leading Chopin interpreter Nelson Freire is the soloist in Chopin’s lyrical and brilliant Second Piano Concerto. On the podium the French conductor Lionel Bringuier makes his Proms debut conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra and gives a sizzling performance of Roussel’s Symphony No.3 and of Ravel‘s score for the ballet Daphnis et Chloé – Suite No 2. ‘’The programme, otherwise entirely French, highlights everywhere this purity of style and gesture (which would give him more in common with Pierre Monteux than Charles Munch), which charms all who see and hear the young conductor: a clear and understandable beat, subtle control of balance and level, natural rhythm and pulse, and expression without embellishment.’’

Live from Nantes, a dazzling musical journey between Paris and Vienna. On the program: works by Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Schubert, Johann Strauss II (transcribed by Schoenberg), and Saint-Saëns.

Lionel Bringuier conducts the Orchestra and Choir of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, with Stefano Bollani and Hyung-ki Joo at the piano, and Piero Monti as choirmaster. The program features: Francis Poulenc, Concerto for Two Pianos; Maurice Ravel, Daphnis et Chloé, choreographic symphony.
