San Antonio Symphony - French and American National Anthem

Music Director Sebastian Lang-Lessing leads the San Antonio Symphony in a special and moving tribute to the tragedy in Paris by performing the French National Anthem prior to the performance on November 20, 2015 at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts.

Notre Hymne joué avec les tripes et le cœur : merci San Antonio. Merci au public de s'être levé durant son interprétation.

To the People of France who suffered to give us freedom and for whom we suffered to keep free.

Demandez aux français de se lever pendant LA MARSEILLAISE !!. Souvenons-nous des polémiques engendrées lors des matchs de football de l'équipe de France.

Merci and God Bless to France and the United States!!!

One of the best renditions of both anthems I ever heard.

[@ducdepaname3766]

thank you 🇫🇷🇺🇸

[@germouchel549]

BRAVO !! Cette MARSEILLAISE est plus que magnifique, les musiciens l'ont interprétée autant avec leurs coeurs qu'avec leurs instruments. Nous n'oublions pas que l'indépendance des Etats Unis a été la levure de notre révolution . Merci et encore MERCI

[@primoxxl71]

Both are beautiful, however completely different in meaning. The French anthem is a call to arms, the American anthem is a song of praise.

75 ans : j'ai eu des frissons ! Merci et bravo (75 years old: I got chills! Thank you and well done).

[@eldermcnamara3631]

Very beautiful rendition I never knew how lovely the French anthem can sound with all the percussion tapping away but bravo 👏🏾

[@christophermichaelclarence6003]

As French speaker. Our French Anthem "La Marseillaise" is most likely a Revolutionnary War Song
