Festival de musique l’Abbé Idéal
Description
This edition is all about text, words and storytelling.
In today's talkative, not to say noisy, world, what has become of the music of words? The song of poetry? How can we preserve the power of storytelling, of the spoken word, as an indispensable bridge between our imaginations and reality?
This year, music is not just something to be heard: it's something to be told.
From Igor Stravinsky and Franz Schubert to song and storytelling, the richness of the link between music and language will be on display. Children will be invited to sing, legends will be invented in the Abbey, soldiers' stories will be read and women's voices will be given pride of place, with many female composers featured in the programmes.
Between the unspoken and the unspeakable, there are so many common stories to be told!
We certainly won't be telling each other everything, but at least we'll have created the space to listen to each other.
