CONCERT de l'ensemble vocal CANTAMICI le 20 mars 2022 à 16h à Champigny-sur-Marne Finalement, notre concert de musique liturgique orthodoxe prévu à Champigny-sur-Marne aura bien lieu, et ce sera au profit de la Croix Rouge pour soutenir l'UKRAINE. 🇺🇦 Venez nombreux !

Dans son récital Bertrand Giraud propose un parcours pianistique semi-vagabond, semi-rêveur, qui embrasse 250 ans de musique pour clavier. Cette errance commence quelques années à peine après que Bartolomeo Cristofori n'ait construit ses premiers piano-forte, et s'achève par une parodie de la musique pour piano de Pierre Boulez, habilement ciselée par Jean Françaix dans sa Promonade d'un musicologue éclectique. Cette œuvre d'une immense finesse couronne le programme de ce concert, dont le soliste est également fondateur et directeur artistique du Concours Jean Françaix qui se déroule annuellement à Vanves.
