Let’s sing and dance the Festival
Royaumont Festival: artists in the garden
Presentation
Iris Thion choirmaster
Tom Grand Mourcel dance, choreography
Marie Ythier cello
Juliette Journaux piano
All of us can all be singers, at least for a moment. Such is the intimate conviction of the choirmaster Iris Thion. The young woman thus invites the public to penetrate the repertoire that will be given at the Royaumont Festival 2023.
From medieval songs to today’s scores, passing through French melodies and the Baroque era, she explains the history of music, explains the differences in genres and, from time to time, offers to share a verse or a chorus. This joyful singing lesson is introduced by a few dance steps by choreographer Tom Grand Mourcel, who will present a creation during the 2023 edition of the Royaumont Festival, and a few cello notes by Marie Ythier, artist in residence. It is the best introduction to the concerts and shows of the fall…
