2025 Season
Dear Music Lovers,
The 2025 edition of Les Printemps Slaves invites you on an unprecedented journey to explore a little-known chapter of Slavic musical history: the Baroque period. Too often overshadowed by the great figures of Romanticism and the 20th century, Slavic Baroque music deserves to be rediscovered—not only for its expressive richness but also for the fascinating dialogue it initiated with the musical eras that followed.
Through a bold and inspiring program, we will delve into the works of 17th- and 18th-century Slavic composers, as well as those of 19th-, 20th- and 21st-century musicians who have drawn boundless inspiration from the Baroque aesthetic. This interplay between eras will be brought to life by exceptional performers, whose artistry will illuminate the subtle connections between past and present.
Blending historical repertoire with modern reinterpretations, Les Printemps Slaves 2025 will celebrate a tradition in constant transformation—where the Baroque style is continually reinvented through time and artistic sensibilities, in a whirlwind of virtuosity and emotion.
We can’t wait to share this unique musical adventure with you!
