Music and Words in the 20th Century explores the profound relationship between sound and language in one of the most innovative periods of artistic history. Composers of the twentieth century redefined how poetry, literature, and music interact, creating works that range from intimate art songs to bold experimental compositions. This program highlights how musical expression can deepen the meaning of texts, whether through subtle harmonic colors, rhythmic intensity, or dramatic contrasts. The twentieth century witnessed new forms of narration, including spoken word, melodrama, and avant-garde techniques that blurred the boundaries between speech and song. By bringing together voice and instruments, the concert reveals how composers transformed words into powerful emotional experiences, reflecting the social, philosophical, and artistic transformations of the modern era.

Sainte Chapelle Paris Tickets
he Sainte-Chapelle (Holy Chapel) is a royal medieval Gothic chapel, located near the Palais de la Cité, on the Île de la Cité in the heart of Paris, France.
Begun some time after 1239 and consecrated on 26 April 1248,[1] the Sainte-Chapelle is considered among the highest achievements of the Rayonnant period of Gothic architecture. Its erection was commissioned by King Louis IX of France to house his collection of Passion Relics, including Christ's Crown of Thorns - one of the most important relics in medieval Christendom.
Along with the Conciergerie, the Sainte-Chapelle is one of the earliest surviving buildings of the Capetian royal palace on the Île de la Cité. Although damaged during the French revolution, and restored in the 19th century, it retains one of the most extensive in-situ collections of 13th-century stained glass anywhere in the world.
