For his debut on the podium of the Regio, the New Yorker James Conlon, a charismatic protagonist of international musical life, brings together two authors such as Poulenc, "half monk and half scoundrel" and Franck, venerated for his mystical devotion. Two masterpieces on the program: the delicate and touching Stabat Mater by Poulenc and the majestic (and unique) Symphony by Franck: fragility and pain, prayer and serenity. A journey from darkness to light.
