Concert by the Abbaye aux Dames choir

Description

On Friday May 29 at 8:30 pm, prepare to experience a moment of grace at the Eglise Saint-Pierre-de-Sales in Marennes. Under the direction of renowned French conductor Michel Piquemal, the vocal ensemble will perform three major works by Gabriel Fauré, culminating in the sublime and soothing Requiem. An intimate and original interpretation For this concert, the audience will have the chance to discover the Requiem in its original 1893 version. More spare and intimate than the classical symphonic version, this score recaptures all the purity and fervor intended by the composer. The originality of this performance also lies in its original orchestration: the choir and the two soloists will be accompanied by a singular duo on piano and accordion, replacing the organ and bringing a warm, modern sound texture to these masterpieces of French music. tickets on marenneshiersbrouage.com
