UNDER PARISIAN SKIES
A charade of Chansons – A summer soirée
With all eyes on Paris, promising the partial reopening of Notre Dame and hosting the forthcoming Olympics, Viva Voce present a celebratory entente cordiale choral recital, figuring diverse Chansons from composers and music associated with the city from across the ages. The programme includes Impressionists Debussy & Ravel, salon ‘half monk-half rascal’ Poulenc, a serenely chilled Lauridsen and channelling torch song popularist chansonniers Piaf, Montand et al.
Join with us as time travelling flaneurs, traversing a diverse Paris, drawn back constantly to a post conflagration Notre Dame rising Out of the Ruins with some sacred devotion from this cradle of polyphony, a highlight being a gem from Machaut Messe de Nostre Dame.
Expect some bawdy adult secular Medieval & Renaissance sauciness and kaleidoscopic musical musings illustrating the capital’s provocative social and political underbelly of turbulent revolution and occupation. All this topped out with some new wave French Canadian music.
