Orchestre Dijon Bourgogne & Emmanuel Bigand

After the Mini Symphonies #1 and #2 in December and January, here is the last stop in the sonic promenade proposed by the Orchestre Dijon Bourgogne and the Opéra de Dijon for young and old.

Did you know that music produces incredible effects in our brains? Here is a perfect opportunity to put that theory to empirical test, live and with the whole family. While the musical programme has been specifically designed to generate connections, it also promises moments of great beauty and emotion. It is worth the detour just to hear the exchanges between Emmanuel Bigand, an associate scientist of the Orchestre Dijon Bourgogne, our guide-narrator Thierry Weber and the conductor Joseph Bastian. Get ready, lend an attentive ear and keep your neurons sharp, things are going to swing.
