Les compositrices « Oubliées » - Concert flûte-chant-piano-conte

As part of the exhibition at the MBA (Musée des Beaux-Arts) dedicated to Jean Dampt (1854-1945), a sculptor, cabinetmaker and draughtsman from Burgundy (from 7 November 25 to 9 March 26), ClairObscur-Lyrique presents a Flute-Chant-Piano concert focusing on music composed by and performed by women, "Les Oubliées", the women whom this "native son" and "image-maker" highlights in his atypical and eclectic work. Women composers... a whole history... These women in the shadow... These women in the shadow of a man, of an era... They have always been part of the history of music, but their traces have been systematically erased from the collective memory. Over time, women have asserted their ability to become remarkable performers and extraordinary composers in every musical genre, sometimes even surpassing men thanks to their heightened sensitivity. Their genius lies in the freedom they were denied for too long. They created masterpieces in such difficult conditions, with no freedom whatsoever. "Forgotten! Here they are, these women composers, forgotten in our memories but dear to our hearts, whom we wish to honour today. They live on through their music, through the passion and tenderness that exalts it. Through our own interpretation, may they rediscover the light they have been missing. ClairObscur-Lyrique, with Sylvie Monot on mezzo-soprano, Mathilde Groffier on flute and Caroline Schmid on piano, invites you to join them on this journey of feminine colours, punctuated by stories of women who keep watch, to celebrate these 'Forgotten Ones'. Three women of today interpreting these women of a bygone era. Jean Dampt saw "art in everything". Wednesday 4 March - 7.00pm at the Musée des Beaux-arts - place de la Sainte-Chapelle 21000 Dijon Booking essential: musees.dijon.fr/agenda (bookings open 15 days in advance).
