The primary mission of the Palazzetto Bru Zane – Centre de musique romantique
française is to make this repertoire well known internationally. Concerts and
other events, resulting from the Centre’s research and publications, punctuate
its activities throughout the year.
Each season, about a hundred concerts are presented, as part of three main
events. In autumn and spring, two thematic festivals focus on various aspects of
the Romantic movement (a composer, an instrument, an institution, etc.); every
nineteenth-century musical genre is represented: solo works, chamber music,
symphonic pieces, sacred compositions, songs (mélodies) and opera.
In winter each year at the Palazzetto Bru Zane an event entitled “Le Salon romantique”
brings together ten or so artists or ensembles in a variety of programmes of French music.
All these concerts are subsequently presented in other cities and other
countries through international progamming networks. Partners include the Opéra
Comique (stage productions and concerts), the Moselle General Council (En Terre
romantique – Biennale de musique romantique), the French Embassy in Italy (Suona francese).
The publications of the Palazzetto Bru Zane fall into the following categories:
- Scores
- Books on music
- CDs and DVDs
