PROGRAM 2019
Visitors will have the opportunity to meet the French Choir Mikrokosmos, the Mixed Choir of Rhodes Municipality, the Children’s Choir of Music School of Rhodes, the Children’s Choir Amabile and the pianist Panagiotis Gogos under the direction of Loïc Pierre among a variety of immersive art activities: music workshops, music walk, two concerts.
The musical program of the two concerts (15/02/19 & 16/02/19) will include:
« THEOPHANES THE GREEK », one of a kind musical tribute to the great religious iconographer composed by Savvas Karatzias. A musical pilgrimage that follows and reflects in sounds the life of Russian iconography founder Theophanes who was also the teacher of the most important Russian iconographer (Saint) Andrei Rublev. It is important to note that the choirs will be involved on stage to perform the play, gathering more than 90 musicians.
« La Nuit Dévoilée » proposes compositions of the 20th and 21st-century (Joby Talbot, Meredith Monk, Francis Poulenc, Edvard Grieg, Grete Pedersen...) with contrasting styles to come together in harmony. The artistic director, Loïc Pierre, invented a different kind of scenography and sound spatialization to immerse the audience more fully into the choral performance. Everything beats in time, and the singers fall in step with one another, languages and harmonies are fused.
