The spirit of Christmas evokes brotherhood, love, compassion, solidarity… What place do these values occupy in our days?
It is a good opportunity to reflect on the state of each one of us, our families and everything around us. Music thus combines gifts and embraces with the intention of awakening awareness and emotions.
With Haydn’s last symphony, Corelli’s most famous concerto and melodies emblematic of this time of year, Metropolitana wishes everyone happy holidays and the peace that the world so desperately needs.
