When Joseph Swensen comes to conduct the Orchestra, as he has done regularly for the past 20 years, it feels like a family affair, especially when he shares the stage with his cellist son!
Jonathan Swensen will play the Double Concerto with Orchestre du Capitole supersolo violinist Kristi Gjezi. For Laniakea, phenomenon composer Camille Pépin was inspired by the supercluster of galaxies of the same name. The masterly Pathétique" Symphony also contains an infinitely rich universe, but with a more interior tumult, reflecting the composer's torments.
