Concert Symphonique — Grande Saison Opening

The Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo opens its Grande Saison with Bertrand de Billy and cellist Truls Mørk — Dutilleux and Ravel.

The Grande Saison of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo opens the new season with a concert conducted by Bertrand de Billy and featuring cellist Truls Mørk.

The programme includes works by Dutilleux and Ravel, in the remarkable setting of the Auditorium Rainier III — the underground concert hall carved into the rock of the Jardin Exotique.

Sunday's concert returns the city to its most elegant dimension — the classical season that gives Monte-Carlo its cultural depth, after a weekend that has ranged from space exploration to contemporary art and trading cards.
