This week Hannu Lintu returns to France to make his debut with the Orchestre national de Lille at concerts in Douai (12 February) and Lille (13 February).

The Shakespeare themed programme features Delius’ The Walk to the Paradise Garden, Tout un monde lointain by Dutilleux (with soloist Edgar Moreau) and Berlioz’s Roméo et Juliette.

Earlier this month Lintu conducted the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne at concerts in Geneva, Fribourg, Martigny, and La Chaux-de-Fonds.
