Claire-Marie Le Guay

In 2025, we will celebrate the 150th anniversary of Ravel's birth. Claire-Marie Le Guay proposes a triptych to celebrate this composer, whose native language she speaks as much as his music, and to share with the public the diversity of his writing.

DAPHNIS AND CHLOÉ - Choreographed concert

The pianist Claire-Marie Le Guay and the Paris Opera dancer Florent Melac, also a choreographer, join forces to bring Daphnis et Chloé to its musical and dramatic essence, with a keyboard and a couple of dancers, including the Danse Étoile, Hannah O'Neill.

The two Piano Concertos in the same concert
Concerto for the Left Hand and Concertos in G 

To hear Ravel's two concertos in the same concert is to plunge into the expressive darkness of the Concerto for the Left Hand, dedicated to the pianist Paul Wittgenstein who lost his right arm in the First World War, and to marvel at the virtuoso Concerto in G, inspired by the jazz that Ravel discovered in America and disturbing by the purity of its slow movement.
