With Regnum vegetabile, the Italian composer Mauro Lanza (1975) and the designer of sound objects Andrea Valle invite a wind and string sextet facing 30 electromechanical 'automatons' run by hairdryers. This first part of the series of inventories of natural kingdoms that will punctuate our season is inserted between the premiere of the definitive version of the viola concerto Flots en fioles en flot by the French composer Aurélien Dumont (1980) and Music for people who like art, a pop composition by Irish iconoclast Andrew Hamilton (1977), on a text by the American Minimalist painter Ad Reinhardt.
