Music: Ensemble Faenza

Are you ready for a medieval music concert?

Join us with Olga Pitarch, Marco Horvat and Francisco Manalich to discover A Fabulous Bestiary, A tribute to the great fabulist, the one and only Jean de La Fontaine! This wonderful concert of early music brought up to date will enchant you on Saturday, October 26 at 6:30 p.m. at the Cité des Rocheuses.

Animals, though often hidden, are omnipresent in 17th and 18th-century French music, inviting us on a delightful musical safari! Discover them in serious airs, drinking songs, and early French cantatas. Imagine shepherdesses' sheep, birds, sheepdogs and hunting dogs, and even lions, tigers, bears, and snakes, all concealed within this marvelous repertoire.

Immerse yourself in 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 flora and fauna are revealed in a new light!
