Discover or rediscover the film “Cold sweat” (Vertigo – 1958 – original version with French subtitles) of Alfred hitchcock including the original soundtrack, signed Bernard Hermann, is performed live by the OSR under the direction of Ernst Van Tiel. From the prelude, the music spins in a spiral, like the motifs of the credits drawn by Saul Bass. From daydreams and nightmares, Herrmann invents here a unique urban Gothic style. Chills guaranteed.
Jazz Evening – Saturday August 19
The OSR will pay tribute to the legendary jazz diva, Ella Fitzgerald, with “A Tribute to Ella Fitzgerald”an original musical project that revisits the singer’s repertoire, arranged exclusively for the orchestra by the composer Alexander Mastrangelo and interpreted by the singer Lucy Woodward.
