Joining forces, the ensemble L’Instant Donné and students from Vitry Conservatoire will invite each musician to develop sensitivity and responsibility. Sometimes with subversive intent, the invitation will be to express individual freedom, a focus on personal inspiration and an egalitarian and reciprocal exchange of ideas. The resulting music will also engage with the performing arts and produce sounds of astounding, enchanting purity, while inviting the audience to follow a diverting path of apparent simplicity and mystery, offering “something magical that we do not know as yet, coming to light unplanned.”
