Friday 25 October 2024 - Are you Ready for a Medieval Music Concert? With Olga Pitarch, Marco Horvat, and Fransisco Manalich, join us and discover A Fabulous Bestiary (Un Fabuleux Bestiaire), a tribute to the great fable author, the one and only Jean de la Fontaine! This wonderful concert of ancient music brought to the present will enchant you on Saturday, October 26th at 6:30 PM at the Cité des Rocheuses. Animals, though discreet, are ever-present in French music of the 17th and 18th centuries, inviting us on a delightful musical safari! Discover them in serious airs, drinking songs, and the early French cantatas. Picture the sheep of shepherdesses, birds, shepherd and hunting dogs, and even lions, tigers, bears, and snakes, all hidden in this marvelous repertoire. Dive into La Fontaine's fables, set to music in the collections of Spiritual and Moral Poems from the 1730s. Join us for a fascinating musical adventure where fauna and flora reveal themselves in a new light! -
