Holly Hyun Choe, conductor
A desire for independence and a special attention to timbres are probably what unites Mozart and Debussy.
With his Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, one of the composer’s first great masterpieces, Debussy takes us through a waking dream filled with nostalgia, voluptuousness, and richness. As for Mozart’s 38th symphony, it strikes with its dramatic power: fervent episodes are nuanced by lyrical passages, and Mozart brilliantly plays with surprises and contrasts to keep us on the edge of our seats until the last note.
The entire proceeds from ticket sales and donations will be donated to the association founded by Coluche.

Exhibition George Nuku – Bottled Sea 2124
A New Zealand artist living in France, George Nuku is of Māori descent through his mother from the Ngāti Kahungunu and Ngāti Tuwharetoa tribes. He began working in communities in 1988 and embarked on an artistic career that has taken him across Europe, the United States, and Asia. Today, he is one of the leading figures in the Māori art scene.
In 2014, he began a series of exhibitions featuring polystyrene and plexiglass that evoke the ocean and the issue of plastic waste thrown into it. These works have been exhibited in many museums around the world.
The exhibition at the Musée du Masque de Fer et du Fort Royal features a selection of the artist’s works and installations inspired by the Lérins Islands and the history of the Iron Mask. The artist has also been in residence at Fort Royal to create some of the installations and conduct workshops in Arts and Culture Education.
