The program, carefully curated to illuminate different facets of Arvo Pärt’s oeuvre, will juxtapose his minimalist signatures with works from earlier musical epochs, fostering musical dialogues that span centuries.

(rajouté à la main). Veuillez croire, mon cher Ministre, à mes sentiments cordiaux. Charles de Gaulle » #Histoire #LangueFrançaise #CulturalHeritage
