DE SALOMÉ À SALOMÉ VERS UNE ÉCOLE FRANÇAISE
Il s’est imposé comme l’un des complices privilégiés de l’Orchestre national du Capitole : le chef français Fabien Gabel revient cette nouvelle saison pour un programme chatoyant, placé sous le signe de la « femme fatale ». Entretien avec un passionné de musique française... Mais pas seulement.
When Mikko Franck became unable to lead the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France's season opening concert, Fabien stepped in to lead in his absence, conducting the orchestra in a performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 as part of their back-to-school celebration. He shared the podium with Sofi Jeannin and Marc Desmons, who lead works by Bartók and Bianchi on the first half of the program.
Fabien received the prestigious designation from the French Ministry of Culture on December 18, 2020.
