Love Story
Once upon a time... Love Story. Love... Passionate, eternal, divine and so human... The common thread running through our destinies. The one thing we all live for and the one we die for, the true driving force of all existence. For centuries, no subject has fired the imagination as much as love. A string quartet formed within the OPRL explores this majestic the various aspects through musical works by German, Czech, Hungarian, Polish and Russian composers. The concert is presented with passion by Stéphane Dado, art and music historian and OPRL development and media officer.
