The Orchestres Partagés bring together students from the City of Strasbourg's music schools to perform a diverse repertoire that is pedagogically adapted to all participating musicians. Beyond this unifying aspect, the particularity of these ensembles also lies in the partnership with the Strasbourg Conservatory and its ensemble conducting class, from which the orchestra conductors, Charlie Don and Etienne Ferrer, come.

The Jonas Orchestra is a Franco-German symphonic ensemble created in 2015, open to all amateur and semi-professional musicians from 15 years old. The orchestra's mission is to allow musicians to continue playing their instruments (for example, for those who have completed their studies), to maintain and improve their musical level and to promote social diversity through music.

Through music, Jonas' ambition is to create links between generations and different cultures. From Bach to John Williams, passing by Beethoven and Tchaikovsky, the musicians explore all styles and musical repertoires under the direction of their conductor Nicolas Jean. Based in Strasbourg, the orchestra performs throughout the Grand Est region but also crosses borders to continue to bring music to life beyond the Rhine.

The orchestra also develops various musical partnerships: concerts in collaboration with German orchestras, various choirs, young opera singers, music schools or musicians from the HEAR (Haute Ecole des Arts du Rhin).

"Nyamba, une tortue du fond des mers" is a musical tale by Coralie Fayolle about the protection of our oceans.

The Stranger is a play adapted from the famous novel by Albert Camus. The audience attends the trial of a man on trial for murder. He must decide whether he is for or against the death penalty. When the vote is taken, a flashback takes us into the convict's past. Song, music and dance set the pace of the play. The codes disappear smoothly. Our real thoughts mingle with our imaginary actions. The actors melt into the audience. The audience becomes part of the plot. The actors are in the stands. The audience is an actor. The character is an observer. A comically tragic play. A dangerously light atmosphere. Absurd in all its glory.
