Musical strolls
Sylvia Vadimova Mezzo-soprano
Bestiaire musical
During an exhibition, mezzo-soprano Sylvia Vadimova invites the public to a series of poetic and musical visits in the collections of the Museum of Hunting and Nature.
Hunting and music follow the same tracks. The profuse nature of the living, its sounds, its textures, its colors. The first repertoire was inhabited by the rhythm of the race, the song of the bird, the power of the hoof, then the tools of the hunter – the stone, the bow, the blowpipe – passed into the hands of the musician to serve other ceremonies.
TM+ and the Musée de la chasse et de la nature continue to track down the lively and the free: after the panache of Leoš Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen, and the musical metamorphoses around Gérard Garouste’s painting Diane and Actéon, this season renews the mediation between the artist and his listener.
Sylvia Vadimova’s storytelling and singing tour takes the young audience on a joyful animal adventure where Charles Lecocq – with a predestined name -, Leonard Bernstein, Francis Poulenc or Luciano Berio come to the rescue of our animal friends.
It will be enough of a nothing, of a golden letter or of nobility, so that these mediations become meditations.
