Chapter 5 | The Rite of Spring

Snežana Nešić presents Impetus – Collaps – Stasis, an architecturally conceived work that evolves like a living organism, moving between bursts of energy, sonic collapse, and hypnotic stillness, while unfolding a rich and contrasting orchestral palette. 

Denis Gougeon offers En Accordéon, written for Joseph Petric, in which the accordion converses with the orchestra through a blend of formal clarity, elegant lyricism, and subtle rhythmic play, revealing all the colors of the instrument. 

Finally, Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, arranged by François Vallières, captivates with its earthy power and irresistible rhythms, balancing primal violence with hypnotic beauty.
