Maestro Jules reveals Saint-Saëns – Carnaval des Animaux

Maestro Jules Orchestra and piano duo C-SISTERS, conducted by Jules van Hessen

The explanation during this concert is in Dutch !

Although Saint-Saëns was known as a thoughtful and classical composer, he reveals a completely different side of himself in The Carnival of the Animals. Behind the parade of animals lies a playful layer full of satire and double meanings, in which animals sometimes bear a striking resemblance to humans.

With the piano duo C-SISTERS and visual projections, Maestro Jules reveals the secrets of the piece, while the orchestra brings the most important passages and solos to life.

What lies behind this music, and who is being subtly portrayed?

After the intermission, you’ll hear the complete work, and everything comes together in a new listening experience.
