25 September 2007 2007 AUTUMN SEASON from 29 October to 5 November ORCHESTRE DES JEUNES DE LA MÉDITERRANÉE ET DE PROVENCE-ALPES-CÔTE D’AZUR

After a summer season in residence at the Académie Internationale in Nice, the Orchestre des Jeunes de la Méditerranée et de Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur is continuing to develop its activities with an autumn season held between 29 October and 5 November at Sainte-Tulle near Manosque.

For this new season the training orchestra brings together 44 students from conservatoires in the Paca region to train them in orchestral practice under the direction of Philippe Bender. They will also be taught by 13 teachers and soloists from orchestras in the region.

On this occasion the Chœur Régional Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur joins the Orchestre des Jeunes to perform Mozart’s Requiem. Laurent Korcia has again been invited to appear as soloist in Mendelssohn’s 2nd Violin Concerto and the programme studied is completed by Ravel’s Ma mere l'Oye.

These 3 works will be played in concert separately on the 3rd and 4th November in Nice as part of the "C'est pas Classique" (It’s Not Classical) festival and in a single concert on 5th November at the Saint-Victor Music Festival in Marseille.
