The Academy's mentors challenge young pianists to question works and find their own way to sculpt sounds, rather than adhering strictly to tradition.
Album & Artwork
This album is the result of a collaboration between the Orsay Museum and the Royaumont Foundation, exploring connections between music, painting, and poetry.
Recording & Production
The album features four duos of young singers and pianists who developed a program exploring the interaction of pictorial and musical forms.
Album & Artwork
The album's cover art features a modern and singular view of the Royaumont Abbey and its gardens, captured by photographer Charles d'Aspermont.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The Academy's programs aim to mirror composers and performers, encouraging listeners to resonate with the music and hear what is revealed better by sound than by words.
Historical Context
The Orsay-Royaumont Academy aims to connect the musical repertoire of the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the Orsay Museum, which is emblematic of that same period.
Interpretation
The Academy encourages young artists to develop an intimate trust with their piano partner, fostering freedom in performance without a conductor.
