Philippe Katerine « Aux Anges »

At the Chorégies d’Orange, Philippe Katerine unveils Aux Anges in a symphonic version, accompanied by the Orchestre national Avignon-Provence under the direction of Bastien Stil. Join us on 7 July 2026 at the Théâtre antique d’Orange for a journey through his repertoire reimagined for a large orchestra, with strings, brass and percussion. Song, pop and spoken-word writing mingle here with an orchestral palette that stretches the colours, highlights the silences and reinvents the dynamics.

From his intimate, bossa beginnings to his more electronic phases, Katerine has explored the refrain, repetition and the subtle shifts of language. This time, he takes hold of his signature pieces to offer a broad, nuanced reading, where the melody swells, countermelodies appear and timbres carve out new contours. Aux Anges places the orchestra at the heart of the performance and confirms Katerine’s taste for formats that move, between lightness, melancholy and mischievous winks. A concert conceived as a bridge between pop and the grand symphonic tradition.
