As spring returns, the PSL Orchestra and Choir brings us a little bit of the Russian spirit to awaken our sleeping senses. Under the direction of Johan Farjot, the musicians of PSL play three composers from the Tsar country. A program that will take you to the steppes of Central Asia with Borodin's music and will give full place to the piano with Rachmaninoff's concerto as well as an Elevation by Karol Beffa, one of our most renowned contemporaries and professor at the ENS.
