ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

This programme explores the world of impressionist and post-romantic composers who, at the turn of the 20th century, sought to create a dialogue between voice, text and sound colour in a quest for pure poetry. Through the choral works of Debussy, Fauré, Ravel, Le Flem, Delius and, above all, Lili Boulanger, the aim is less to narrate than to suggest: a flicker of light, a memory of water, a breath in the trees, a prayer without dogma.

​

The musical experience is punctuated by piano improvisations that create sensitive transitions, connect contrasting worlds, or simply offer the listener a poetic respite. These free, ephemeral moments underscore what the Impressionist composers sought so ardently: the suspended moment, that fragile instant when sound becomes light and silence becomes presence.

​

Thus, Impressionnistes is conceived as an inner journey, where choral music and improvisation intertwine to better allow the invisible to resonate.
