Do you think that some composers of classical music could also have been chemists or doctors? This concert will help us to understand how science, mathematics and technology are all part of a work’s aliveness and influence our emotions. Strauss, Saint-Saëns, Bach… there are as many composers as there are discoveries you would never have imagined! 

R. Strauss, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, op. 30, TrV 176, excerpt 
Maxime Goulet, Citius, altius, fortius! 
Rameau, Les fêtes d’Hébé, Suite: III. “Tambourin” 
Mahler, Symphony no. 1 in D major, excerpt  
J.S. Bach, Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 (arr. Stokowski) 
Bartók, Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, Sz. 106, excert 
Saint-Saëns, Symphony no. 3 “with organ” in C minor, op. 78, excerpt
