From Francis Poulenc to Leonard Bernstein, via Arvo Pärt and Julia Wolfe, this program charts a spiritual journey marked by contemplation, inner tension, and shared enthusiasm. Beneath the vaults of Vézelay, Les Métaboles and the Metz Grand Est National Orchestra, conducted by Léo Warynski, weave a sensitive dialogue between silence, prayer, and choral energy. Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms bring the evening to a close in a radiant celebration, where singing becomes a collective gesture and a space for fellowship.
