“I’ve been in the job for a year and a half. The previous season was one of transition, one of continuity with a personal touch. This year, it’s really a big shift towards a season that looks a lot like me, admits Alexandre. In the classical world, you have to get rid of certain elements that are elitist and reductive. Me, I come from a family that worked a lot to live and survive. My mother is an artist, I lived on the wire throughout my childhood. I had the chance to learn classical music, but that doesn’t mean that I recognize myself in elitist codes. My mission is to say that this is music for everyone. ”
