NOËL AVEC BRITTEN

To mark the fiftieth anniversary of her death, it is now her turn to be celebrated as a source of inspiration with a new work by Édith Canat de Chizy, alongside works she herself composed: the extraordinary *A Ceremony of Carols* with harp, and the *Saint Nicolas* cantata, dedicated to the figure so beloved by children and fittingly celebrated on 6 December. Another anniversary: the Maîtrise de Toulouse is marking its twentieth anniversary with this programme. So many years of excellence, and a particularly close collaboration with the Orchestre du Capitole, thanks to its Franco-British conductor and founder, Mark Opstad.
