ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
Dive into the heart of Le Souffle de l'Âme, a captivating experience that explores the intangible current of the force that animates us, inspires us and generates creation. At once a gentle, timeless breeze and a breath of air carrying the emotions of our being, Le Souffle de l'Âme traces a musical path imbued with the bewitching generosity of discourse and a carnal connection with sound.
This harmonious creation by Thierry Escaich fuses sounds and senses to create a warm density in every note. From Gregorian chant to Johann Sebastian Bach, this dreamlike journey is rooted in a variety of influences. The organ improvisations capture the emotion of the moment, completing this sensory journey.
Le Souffle de l'Âme transcends temporal, linguistic and artistic boundaries, uniting different eras in a programme where creators meet. Beyond the appearance of contrasts, we believe in a profound musical fusion, uniting analogical thoughts by an invisible thread.
Let yourself be carried away by this exceptional programme, conceived as a continuous work playing with spaces and atmospheres. Much more than just a concert, it's an all-encompassing artistic proposition that places the emotions at the centre, where one work follows another to surprise, comfort, shake up and move your being.
