It is by playing on a double reference – a cappella, without instrumental accompaniment and the star Capella, the brightest star in the constellation of the Coachman – that the Métaboles illuminate this end of the year with carols from Europe, South America, the Caribbean or Africa

The Canadian composer Raymond Murray Schafer has developed in his music a most singular philosophical approach, his vocal works seeking to establish a spiritual link with Nature, by creating real soundscapes, drawing inspiration for this from Native American culture. The vocal ensemble Les Métaboles excels in the interpretation of this metaphysical repertoire.

Completed by a piece by Estonian composer Veljo Tormis, this concert is set in motion by choreographer Éric Oberdorff, assuring the public of an extraordinary mystical experience.

Les Métaboles and the cellist Marc Coppey, offer a program under the sign of metamorphosis. Some works are transformed, such as a Chaconne by Bach and Agnus Dei by Barber, transcribed for cello and choir. Others translate the metamorphosis musically, such as the eponymous work by Philippe Hersant inspired by the four seasons or the creation of the Japanese composer Noriko Baba. The ultimate change of state, that of passing from life to death, is explored in John Tavener's Svyati.

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.
