LES VOICE MESSENGERS / Big Band Vocal "Comme le temps passe" Directed by Jean-Michel Fournereau. With the presence of Natalie Dessay, patron of the evening.
Thursday, June 24, 8:30 pm / Abbaye de La Sauve Majeure. 30€ / reduced rate : 15€*
The Voice Messengers are six high-level singers, accompanied by a rhythm section of piano, double bass and drums. Treated as instruments, the voices take on the role of brass and saxophones, and recall the energy, color and spirit of the great jazz orchestras. The ensemble imposes itself by its musicality, its swing and its vocal brio.
The Voice Messengers' repertoire is composed in part of pieces written by actual jazz musicians, in part of "standards" revisited by Rodgers and Hart, Oliver Nelson, Horace Silver, Duke Ellington or Charlie Parker. It also includes poems taken from the great French classics (Apollinaire, Baudelaire, Marguerite Yourcenar...), set to music by Thierry Lalo, the late leader of the Voice Messengers.
The Voice Messengers have received numerous awards: Prix Nouveau Talent Musique from the SACD, Prix du Jazz Vocal from the Académie du Jazz, Prix Maurice Yvain 2011 from the SACD. Their latest album Comme le temps passe was released in January 2021.

TRAVIATA ET NOUS / A film by Philippe BEZIAT
Tuesday, August 31, 8:00 pm / Cinéma UTOPIA Bordeaux
With Natalie Dessay. Directed by Jean François Sivadier. Musical direction Louis Langrée, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir
In spring 2011, Jean François Sivadier directs La Traviata, in Aix en Provence, under the direction of Louis Langrée. Natalie Dessay is Violetta. For two months, from the rehearsal rooms to the backstage of the Théâtre de l'Archevêché, a film crew follows their work closely. How does one become La Traviata, one of the mythical and most moving characters in the history of opera? How is emotion born under the baton of the conductor, between the ranks of the orchestra and the chorus? How is the magic of opera reproduced and renewed?
A fascinating and moving dive into the birth of an opera and into the work of the artists, and in particular the masterly performance of Natalie Dessay, singer but also actress.
Philippe Béziat has directed numerous documentary films on music such as Passions d'opéra - 60 ans d'art lyrique à Aix-en-Provence (2008), De mémoire d'orchestre with the Orchestre National de France (2004) and Mozart, Ligeti et Le Banquet (2001).
His work has led him to work, among others, with Marc Minkowski, with whom he has directed several documentaries for France 2, Mezzo or Arte as well as the documentary-opera Pelléas et Mélisande, Le chant des aveugles, directed by Olivier Py, released in March 2009. In 2020, he will direct Les Indes galantes, based on the staging of Clément Cogitore.

André MANOUKIAN / Conférence psycho-érotique pianotée
"Le chant du périnée" Enzo Productions
Friday september 10 / 8.30pm / salle des Dominicains 30€ / reduce rate : 20€*
"Did you know that the first recording was invented in 3000 BC in an Egyptian pyramid? That singers with a high voice scare the girls?
That the expression "dumb as a tenor" is justified by the laws of acoustics? That the execution of Robespierre gave birth to Jazz? That the notes of the scale have an influence on our moods?
Sitting at the piano, André Manoukian takes us on an erudite and crazy journey through the history of music. He explains why some notes bring tears to our eyes, while others make us anxious or stupid with love. He shares with us the magic of musical creation.
If the little Wolfgang, at 3 years old, was looking for "the notes that love each other" on his harpsichord, giving in passing the most beautiful definition of music, the supreme inspiration, it is... when one is dumped. A good heartbreak, nothing better to compose...
Trying to pierce the mystery of the voice, he takes us from the Egyptians of Antiquity to the divas of jazz through the castrati of the Renaissance.
From his vocal detoxification to his redemption thanks to Pythagoras and Claude François, André Manoukian gives us a history of music as you have never heard it before
Born in 1957 in Lyon to Armenian parents, André Manoukian developed a passion for the piano at the age of 6. Initially a medical student, he went on to study music at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. Jazz pianist, composer, he wrote for Liane Foly and collaborated with Charles Aznavour, Gilbert Bécaud, Diane Dufresne, Janet Jackson, Malia...
His album "So in Love", ranked in the top five best-selling jazz albums in 2010. He explores the great standards of Cole Porter, Burt Bacharach and George Gershwin sung by the new scene: Emily Loizeau, Helena Noguerra, Benjamin Siksou or China Moses.
Open to all influences, he has explored in recent years the Armenian musical soil of his family origins.
André Manoukian is also known to the general public for his participation as a jury member of the Nouvelle Star (M6) and for his musical column on France Inter.
François MOREL et Valentin MOREL / Rencontre - lecture
Saturday september 11, 11 AM / Salle des Cordeliers . Entrée libre
Theater and film actor, singer, radio commentator, dubbing actor, François Morel is a voice virtuoso.
From the zany improvisations of Mr. Morel in the television series Les Deschiens by Jérôme Deschamps, which marked the beginning of his fame, to the chiseled texts of his column on France Inter, from his on-stage tribute to Raymond Devos, that other athlete of the voice and poet, to the one he will soon pay to Georges Brassens, François Morel has the art of playing the most diverse registers.
In his company, we will evoke the work of the voice, from the Norman accent of Mr. Morel, to the song that he has been practicing for 15 years. The meeting is illustrated with video excerpts of some of his shows and chronicles.
François Morel is also a writer. In October 2020, he published with his son Valentin Morel the Dictionnaire amoureux de l'inutile (Plon). A "review of everything that seems to serve no purpose and yet seems essential": making ricochets over the river, paper cocottes, the expression "combing the giraffe", remembering the little electric trains ... Is man more useful than the lobster? Is the potato more indispensable than the bindweed? Is the village idiot less necessary than the member of the Institute? It would be a book that would linger, praising the merits of sleeping in and the counterpoints in the ministers' speeches...
François and Valentin Morel will take great pleasure in reading the definitions that a benevolent audience will draw.
The meeting will be followed by a moment of autographs.
Jean ABITBOL / La Belle histoire de la voix
Saturday september 11 / 3.PM / Cloître des Cordeliers Entrée libre
Jean Abitbol is one of the world's leading specialists in vocal cords.
In his latest book "La Belle histoire de la voix", he tells the story of the voice, between science, art and emotion. He makes us discover the history of the voice, from the first men to the voices of robots, from the castrato Farinelli to the athletes of the song such as Johnny and Louis Armstrong, while passing by the speakers of exception like Martin Luther King and the General de Gaulle. In this beautifully illustrated book, Jean Abitbol invites you on a fabulous journey into the world of the voice.
The meeting is illustrated with audio and video materials.

Sunday September 12, 11.00 AM / Salle Gothique. Saint-Emilion. Entrée libre
Does a singer have to be strong to sing better? How do the vocal cords work? Why can't I sing in tune? Am I a tenor or a baritone? What is the difference between the two? If you admire the voice and/or sing yourself, you have probably asked yourself these questions about this mysterious art! In the form of an interactive game, we will explore together the great questions of the art of singing.

Her repertoire includes the roles of Carmen and Mamma Lucia (Cavalleria Rusticana), and solos in symphonic works such as Handel's Messiah, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Mahler's Second Symphony, and Brahms' Rhapsody for Viola.

Irène KUDELA / Piano Stéphane TRÉBUCHET /Masterclass de chant lyrique
Sunday september 12 / 2.30 PM/ Château Soutard 10€ TR 5€
The conductor Irene Kudela takes us behind the scenes of the vocal work of opera singers. It is a fascinating work that is rare to be able to witness. How does one accompany an artist to help him or her reach the height of their art? This work requires a skilled ear because the singer often needs an external ear and eye to learn his role and to advance in his repertoire. The conductor watches over the accuracy, the pronunciation but also the spirit in which the score was written. Irène Kudela is renowned for her talent as a teacher and is much appreciated for her great benevolence towards the singers.
This Masterclass, focused on the magnificent Slavic lyrical repertoire, is unique in France.
A polyglot pianist - she speaks seven languages, including Czech and Russian - Irene Kudela's career is at the crossroads of music and linguistics. As a conductor, she is invited by the most important international opera houses and opera festivals. She trains young conductors and singers at the Atelier Lyrique de l'Opéra de Paris, at the Hochschule de Frankfort and at the National Opera Studio in London.
Stéphane Trébuchet is a Gold Medalist of the Bordeaux Conservatory and 1st prize for accompaniment of the city of Paris. Pianist of the international lyric competitions, Robert Massard and Bordeaux-Médoc, he shares his passion for recital with many artists.

In 2009, he created his own band Gadjérom, focusing on gypsy music.
Jérémie Schacre, gold medalist in classical guitar and chamber music at the Conservatoire d'Aix-en-Provence, Jérémie Schacre has always been fascinated by the music of Django Reinhardt.
