In April 2023, the Orchestre des Pays de Savoie imagined an exceptional participatory project: the Programmathon - Compositrices. To showcase women composers past and present, the Orchestra called on the public to vote for their favorite pieces from a selection of works by 10 women composers.
Across the centuries, this concert is the long-awaited result of votes! From the pioneering and celebrated Romantic Fanny Mendelssohn to the Dutchwoman Henriëtte Bosmans, our program also gives pride of place to the creators of today: Argentinean Alicia Terzian and American Caroline Shaw. The concert concludes with the work that has captured your heart: Feuilles d'eau de Silvacane by French composer Camille Pépin. A historic concert that will write the future of women's music, thanks to your participation.
