They had to put away their instruments and close their season due to a health crisis, which could no longer occur in public. But the deconfinement continuing, the musicians of the National Capitol Orchestra decided to offer three exceptional concerts at the Halle aux grains, to thank in particular the nursing staff and the people who donated the amount of their tickets (those of canceled performances) for canceled concerts to support local cultural actors.

Three prestigious guests

On June 19, the Capitole National Orchestra will open this series of concerts, in the presence of violinist Renaud Capuçon, recently appointed artistic director of the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra. On June 26, it is the Toulouse artist Bertrand Chamayou, pianist rewarded with four Victoires de la Musique, who will accompany the orchestra conducted by Tugan Sokhiev. Finally, on July 2, it is David Fray who will perform Bach's piano concertos on the stage of the Toulouse performance hall.

These three concerts will take place in accordance with barrier gestures and with a limited audience size.
