We are pleased to present a digital project based on the first movement of Francis Poulenc’s Sextet for piano and winds originally scheduled for the final of the 14th Competition and cancelled due to exceptional circumstances. We wanted to give each of our three finalists, who should have played it with the Soloists of the Orléans Symphony Orchestra, the opportunity to perform it even in a moment of musical lockdown : each pianist was able to record his or her version of the Sextet on a video previously provided by the Orléans Symphony Orchestra and recorded at the Théâtre d’Orléans with the kind permission of the Scène nationale d’Orléans.
Chae-Um Kim who had receive the most votes will be invited to play the entire Sextet with the Soloists of the Orléans Symphony Orchestra in the Salle de l’Institut (Orléans – France).
