2026 Season
Dear Music Lovers,
For its 2026 edition, Les Printemps Slaves invites you to immerse yourself in the fascinating atmosphere of the Belle Époque, a period of extraordinary artistic effervescence that marked the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Through this program, we invite you to rediscover a unique era in which traditions were reimagined, bold new ideas flourished, and the modernity that would shape the art of the twentieth century began to take form. The works of Sergei Rachmaninoff, Antonín Dvořák, Alexander Scriabin, Sergei Prokofiev, Maurice Ravel, and Claude Debussy reflect the richness and vibrant creativity of this remarkable time.
We hope this edition will allow you to rediscover the vitality and beauty of this exceptional period, and that you will share with us the joy of these musical encounters!
