Concert at Lake Paladru

Concert at Lake Paladru – A Lyon Symphony Orchestra Spectacle The Lyon Symphony Orchestra returns to the breathtaking setting of Lac de Paladru for its “Point d’Orgue à la Française” concert, a journey that began with a stunning premiere on May 17, 2025 at the historic Ainay Abbey in Lyon. After captivating audiences in Lyon, the orchestra continues its musical voyage, stopping at Lake Paladru on November 8 for an autumnal celebration that brings symphonic music to a natural, warm, and welcoming atmosphere. This performance is a heartfelt tribute to French repertoire, artfully balancing tradition and modernity. The program showcases the great works of French music: the exuberant overture to *Saltimbanques* by Louis Ganne, selections from Gounod’s *Mireille*, and contemporary surprises drawn from iconic film scores—*Ratatouille*, *La La Land*, and *La Soupe aux Choux*. Each piece is given breathless energy and sensitivity by the orchestra’s seasoned musicians. A highlight of the evening centers the violin as a luminous star, with a dazzling trio of Saint‑Saëns’ “Introduction, Rondo and Capriccioso.” Performed by virtuoso David Camus, this virtuosic showcase promises a moment of pure grace and sparkle, underscoring the orchestra’s dynamic range. Designed for audiences of all ages, this eclectic and accessible program guarantees an evening rich in emotion, discovery, and joyous musical pleasure. It is a fantastic opportunity to extend the momentum sparked in Lyon, celebrate French musical heritage, and share the beauty of the region’s landscape with fans and newcomers alike.
