Baroque Getaways: IN THE HEART OF THE NIGHT

The ensemble La Chambre, under the direction of Jean-Sébastien Beauvais, will open the festival with an immersive production centered on the night and the myth of the Sibyls. In the delicate, suspended setting of the Monastery of Saorge, four male voices and a viola da gamba will engage in a dialogue and respond to one another in a unique, immersive, and wondrous experience that bridges sacred and secular music, past and present. Inspired by the spellbinding music of Roland de Lassus, this concert will evoke the stillness of the night—its fears and pleasures—and the prophetic word, enchanting dreams and oracles that guided not only ordinary people but also Greek heroes — including Alexander — in their quest for greatness. Featuring: Gabriel Ange Brusson, countertenor Leo Reymann, tenor Valentin Jansen, bass Ondine Lacorne, viola da gamba Jean-Sébastien Beauvais, countertenor and musical director
