Printemps des Arts de Monte-Carlo – Turangalîla-Symphony

Printemps des Arts de Monte-Carlo continues with Turangalîla-Symphony performed by the The Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra on Saturday 4 April 2026 at 7:30 pm in Salle des Princes – Grimaldi Forum Monaco.

The Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra tackles a gigantic work from the symphonic repertoire: the Turangalîla-Symphony, a vast hymn to joy and love composed by Olivier Messiaen for more than a hundred musicians, somewhere between a ballet for orchestra and a piano concerto, including the supernatural sounds of the ondes Martenot! As a prelude, La Mécanique céleste by (and featuring) composer-saxophonist Vincent David will launch the orchestra into weightlessness.

The concert will be preceded by a lecture at 6 p.m.: ‘The Orchestral Language of Olivier Messiaen’ by musicologist Yves Balmer.
