Festival Sido&Co : éveil musical au son d'un violon

Nursery rhymes and classical music for young ears are offered as part of the Monte le Son 2026 festival

Originally, a loop: the folia, this baroque bass that returns endlessly under its variations, and the madness it mimics, thought caught in its spin. From this whirlwind, the cellist draws a programme where she plays and sings simultaneously.

Les Folies d'Espagne, inspired by Marin Marais, open the concert, with the solo cello laying down the recurring motif.

Then the voice settles in, alternating between personal songs and repertoire, evoking the madness of love, the madness of men who destroy what sustains them, the beauty of sirens that lead astray, the solitude that drives one mad in Purcell.

The voice then withdraws, and only the cello remains, but now immense. After an improvisation that lowers its strings, Kodály's Sonata op.

8 closes the concert on its vastest madness: a song of Hungarian folklore, the trance of the minstrel, a single instrument containing an entire orchestra. As part of the Festival Sido&Co, a festival of expanded classical music in the 10th arrondissement.
