Saturday, August 2025 - 09:00 pmAnother LookRencontres musicale de Vézelay

A hypnotic work, Another Look at Harmony is an extraordinary experience of time and listening, both rooted in its multiple references to the music of the past and enhanced by the intact modernity of Philip Glass's repetitive style. Following a recording at the Cité de la Voix, Léo Warynski extends his passionate exploration of the American composer's work through a uniquely staged concert, in homage to the dialogue between the arts.

Après un rêve gives pride of place to imagination, dreams, beauty and emotions. From Josquin Desprez and Nicolas Gombert, masters of polyphony, to the romantic sensibility of Brahms and Fauré, through the impressionist harmonies of Debussy and Ravel, and the contemporary music of Élise Bertrand and Ondrej Adamek, Après un rêve offers a panorama of vocal music where each work invites us on a sensitive journey.

Saturday, August 29 2025 - 03:00 amAnother Look (concert version)Festival de la Chaise Dieu

In the bustling New York of the 1970s, the young Philip Glass, then in search of an innovative style, would find in the choral music of the Italian Renaissance the source of a polyphony rich in astonishing modernism. From there would be born an emblematic, minimalist and repetitive style, in which the listener dives, gets lost, finds himself and ends up transformed. And who better than Léo Warynski and his magnificent choir Les Métaboles to immerse us in this music, making it resonate with a new work by Andrea Basily?

Friday, october 10 2025 - 08:30 pmSinging RavelCollégiale Saint Louis de Poissy

Everything sings in Ravel: the strings of Daphnis et Chloé, the piano of Jeux d’eau or the whirlwind of fantastic characters in L’Enfant et les Sortilèges. Yet his work for choral a cappella is reduced to the twirling but very short Three Songs. Never mind! Didn't Ravel himself transcribe, here for piano, there for orchestra, a good part of his catalog? Here are Ma Mère l'OyeMiroirs, Shéhérazade offered to the virtuosity and mischievousness of the singers of Métaboles – and in creation, the transcriptions of the Bolero and the Pavane pour une infante défunte by Thibault Perrine.

December

Wednesday, December 17 2025 - 8:00 pmAnother LookPhilharmonie de Paris

Fifty years ago, Another Look at Harmony placed American composer Philip Glass at the forefront of the minimalist movement. Following an album released in March, Les Métaboles present a staged concert version of his final evening.

Composed one year before Einstein on the Beach and eight years before Akhnaton—two operas previously conducted by Léo Warynski—Another Look offers a heady experience: repetitive writing and references to medieval Gregorian chant intertwine in a hypnotic dialogue, both minimalist and profusely rich.

Singular by nature, the American composer's score is also unique in the rarity of its concert performance. Léo Warynski and Les Métaboles do it double justice by bringing it to the stage and in the scenography of Céline Diez and Clément Debailleul, in the spirit of this porosity between the arts specific to the 1970s. An interior journey where the circle is matrix and law, a journey through time ultimately outside of time.

April

Wednesday, April 15 2025 - 05:00 pmOmbre et splendeurFestival de Pâques de Colmar

Arvo Pärt's Da Pacem is a meditation for four a cappella voices that pays tribute to the victims of the 2004 Madrid attacks. Alessandro Scarlatti's fervent Salve Regina evokes resilience in the face of tragedy, notably the devastating 1702 Naples earthquake. Domenico Scarlatti's Stabat Mater, a true monument of Italian polyphony, intensely depicts the suffering of Mary at the foot of the cross, in a poignant expression of pain and devotion. Echoing Arvo Pärt, Philippe Hersant's piece rises up as a cry of hope and comfort, this time dedicated to the victims of the conflict in Ukraine, linking past and present with a shared aspiration for peace. Finally, Alessandro Scarlatti's Magnificat, luminous and triumphant, accompanies this musical journey on a note of brilliance and gratitude.
