Old Christmas, whose eye shines, returns home to us around midnight without a sound. ” Let us sing Christmas carols from a repertoire of sacred music and traditional Christmas songs, featuring works by Gounod, Bizet, Caplet, Adam, Schubert, Holmes, De La Tombelle, Baton, Massenet, Fauré, Hahn, Saint-Saëns and many more… And then, as it’s Christmas, there’ll be a surprise!!! ‘The air is cold; in the heavens the moon shines and flees when the Christmas bell rings out in the night.’ Jean-Jacques Ampère (1800–1864). Sylvie MONOT, mezzo-soprano opera soloist Mathilde GROFFIER, flautist Caroline SCHMID, composer and pianist PRACTICAL INFORMATION Saturday 19 December at 5.00 pm Sunday 20 December at 3.00 pm Monday 21 December at 5.00 pm Salle de l’Académie 5 rue de l’École de Droit - 21000 Dijon No booking required – Free entry and voluntary donations ACCESS: L6, L8 (Bibliothèque stop) – City (Bibliothèque stop) Website: https://www.clairobscur-lyrique.fr Email address: clairobscur.lyrique@free.fr Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007020618056 YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuqYoNuXsjyfYKhibc2Qx4g Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clairobscurlyrique Subscribe to the mailing list: https://www.clairobscur-lyrique.fr/contactbis/
