Dijon Bourgogne Orchestra & Dijon Opera Choir

A jewel of Brahms’ choral music engages in dialogue with original scores and arrangements by English composer John Rutter, offering an ode to love and nature that unites adult and children’s choirs with the Dijon Bourgogne Orchestra.

Under the dynamic direction of Joseph Bastian, peruse the joyful and infectious ardour of Brahms’ Liebeslieder-Walzer. These miniatures, set to the rhythms of waltzes and inspired by love poems from Eastern Europe, reflect the influence of Schubert and range from tender poetic expression to irony and determination. Framing these unique treasures, the distinctive spirit of John Rutter, a master of choral music, takes us on a journey through influences ranging from Broadway to spirituals, opening the door to a universe of boundless emotion and imagination.
