Performed by the National Orchestra of Budapest under the direction of Peter Pejtsik, associated with the rare Middle Ages music instruments of Groupe OC , this symphony in four movements written by Christian Salès invites us to the eternal dream of Oc civilization.

Freedom, Respect, Sharing and Tolerance may define the mysterious significance of the word "Paratge” which was a key value for Occitan troubadours of the 12th century. Groupe OC with Christian Salès, its artistic director, holds this value at arm’s length, living through their music the expression of a timeless culture associated with modern touch.
" For me, only a symphony orchestra could bring this specific evocative power and emotional dimension necessary to tell precisely the epic and human magnitude of Oc civilization" said Christian Salès, Groupe OC leader

Inspired by Knights, battles, troubadours, and enchanting landscapes of the Languedoc country, the four movements contained in "Paratge Occitan Symphony" are resolutely in a fantasy world where the spirit of freedom, of escape and mystery becomes a creed.
