Wednesday, June 28 2023 - 8:00 pmCori AllegriFestival Les Flâneries musicales de Reims

During a trip to Italy, Marc-Antoine Charpentier observed what in Venice was called the "cori spezzati": the dialogue of vocal groups installed on either side of a church. In this program he works alongside Gregori Allegri and Lithuanian composer Juta Pranulyte. But the centerpiece of this new program is signed Orazio Benevolo, a little-known musician, chapel master at the Vatican from 1646 to 1672. Thanks to the conductor and musicologist Louis Castelain, who patiently copied the score in a Roman library, the Metaboles sing for the first time since the 17th century this four-choir Mass by the Italian composer.

Saturday, July 8 2023 - 09:00 pmSinging RavelFestival Les Traversées - Abbaye de Noirlac

Everything sings with Ravel: the strings of Daphnis and Chloé, the piano of Jeux d'eau or the whirlwind of fantastic characters from L'Enfant et les Sortilèges. However, his work for a cappella choir is reduced to twirling but very short Trois chansons. Never mind ! Didn't Ravel himself transcribe, here for piano, there for orchestra, a good part of his catalog? Here is Ma Mère l'Oye, Miroirs, Scheherazade offered to the virtuosity and playfulness of the singers of the Métaboles - and in creation, the transcriptions of the Bolero and the Pavane pour une infante defunte by Thibault Perrine.
