This concert is dedicated to the musical diversity of 20th-century France. Maurice Ravel’s *Le Tombeau de Couperin*, composed in 1914, opens the evening and, with its dance-like verve, virtuosic musical language, and sophisticated instrumental effects, transports the audience into a world of French elegance.

Then the curtain rises on the great voice of French chanson: Édith Piaf. Her legend lives on, her songs brimming with intensity, a zest for life, and a passion for love. Brought to life by Maria Bill, who impressively embodies Piaf’s passion, uncompromising spirit, and her search for love and recognition, this performance—in collaboration with her musicians and the Salzburg Philharmonic—creates a spirited, moving concert experience full of longing, hope, and inner fire.
