Launch Concert Recap: M Sphere Begins
22.04.2025, 19:30

galerie UNIVER / Colette Colla
6 Cité de l'Ameublement, 75011 Paris, France

On April 22, 2025, M Sphère officially launched its first season with a sold-out concert at galerie UNIVER / Colette Colla in the heart of Paris. The evening brought together an exciting program and the collective’s stellar group of musicians: Miclen LaiPang and Verena Chen on violin, Arianna Smith on viola, Jérémy Garbarg on cello, and Joë Christophe on clarinet.

Inside the programme

The first half of the concert unfolded as an intimate and atmospheric journey, beginning with Dvořák’s warm and tender Terzetto in C Major, followed by Missy Mazzoli’s haunting Dissolve, O My Heart and Halvorsen’s elegant Sarabande con variazioni on a theme by Handel—each piece weaving a spell of introspection and subtle beauty.

After a short break, the second half exploded with energy and color: Connesson’s shimmering Disco-Toccata, Gabriella Smith’s riotous and aptly named Carrot Revolution, and the virtuosic Clarinettino, Op. 11 by Ondřej Kukal. It was an electrifying second act—part disco, part revolution, and wholly unforgettable.

 

Wine Pairings

In true M Sphère spirit, the evening was an immersive experience—enhanced by a unique wine pairing curated by resident wine expert Ryan Lim. His selections of two exceptional Rieslings, Dennis Wolf’s Laumersheimer Kirschgarten 2020 and Domaine Bohn’s Schieferberg “Le Romarin,” elevated the evening’s flavors and conversations.
