Creatures of the night

The fantastical has inspired composers throughout the ages. Dive into the world of night and its creatures with stunning vocal harmonies and a touch of piano magic.

Creatures of the night

To ensure a good balance of voices, we will no longer be accepting Alto, Mezzo or Soprano registrations for these ateliers. Registrations made on November 25 and 26 will be validated.

Fairies, djinns and elves will take us on a grand epic, from sunset to sunrise, thanks to the composers who have painted these subdued, bewitching, frightening or soothing atmospheres from the 17th century to the present day. From Henry Purcell to John Williams, these outstanding musicians offer us musical and vocal colors very different from their scholarly or religious music when it comes to entering the nebulous world of the night and its creatures.
Chills guaranteed!
