Concert par l'Ensemble Orchestral de Dijon au Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi

For this third musical edition, Santenay Town Council and the Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi are hosting the Dijon Orchestral Ensemble on 6 November for a programme entirely dedicated to Johann Sebastian Bach.

Music and wine will, as always, blend together perfectly, with a concert starting at 7.30 pm followed by a tasting of the estate’s wines accompanied by a selection of appetisers.

Around twenty musicians from the Dijon Orchestral Ensemble, conducted by Flavien Boy, will explore the many facets of a composer whose writing seems to naturally combine rigorous structure with freedom of expression.

Flavien Boy, a graduate of the Paris Conservatoire, makes sharing his passion a priority. He was recently invited to conduct the Marseille Philharmonic Orchestra, the Paris Conservatoire Laureates’ Orchestra, the Orchestre Colonne, the Ensemble du Pôle Supérieur Aliénor de Poitiers, the Tunisian Symphony Orchestra and the Orchestre Buissonnier in Geneva. As Artistic Director of the Orchestral Ensemble of Dijon, he is involved in various interdisciplinary projects, combining music with education, theatre and dance.

For this programme dedicated to Johann Sebastian Bach, several works have been selected:

Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major, BWV 1048

Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 582

The Air from Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068

From one work to the next, this programme thus showcases a single musical vision expressed in multiple forms: a love of dialogue, the power of counterpoint, dance and architectural structure.

Following the concert, there will be a wine tasting featuring wines from the Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi.

With 98 hectares of vineyards spread across the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise, the Domaine offers a fine range of wines, providing a wonderful exploration of Burgundy’s terroirs.
