Duo Harmophane – Music for two cellos in the City Hall Lounges Just like literary or poetic salons, musical salons experienced a significant development in the 19th century, at a time when the State did not pay much attention to supporting artistic creation. Women played a leading role in the development of a rich social and artistic life and the emergence of an abundant musical literature where piano and singing dominated. The cello also found its place there thanks to the extent of its register and the variety of its expressive palette. Writing in a duo allows everyone to speak with eloquence, whisper intimate confidences, hold a pleasant and lively conversation or become mysterious, to let the emotion spring until the ultimate moment when the echoes of music fade. What setting is more appropriate than the Salons of the city hall, a heritage place full of charm, to host the dialogue of two cellos? The Duo Harmophane will browse musical pages featuring the 'classics' of Barrière and Offenbach, and will borrow from jazz, film music or song. With Aurore Doué and Christophe Riegler (cellos) Informations Duration 1h, within the limit of available places.
