Workshop "Meet France!" - Boarding: From 13.15 h, departure: 13.30 h, arrival: 14.45 h
French chansons are unmistakable. Their lyrics are dedicated to romance, longing, melancholy and even nostalgia. Immerse yourself in this incomparable world and sing along with the children's choir "La Cigale de Lyon" and their choirmaster Anne-Marie Cabut.
Children's choir "La Cigale de Lyon", France
"La Cigale de Lyon" was founded in 1947 by Christian Wagner as part of the reconstruction of France. It is therefore remarkable that its first international tour seven years later should take it to Germany of all places. The choir's role in reconciling former enemies reinforced the values that Anne-Marie Cabut still lives by today. As artistic director of the choir since 1995, she has not only expanded the repertoire to encompass a wide range of eras and continents, but has also recorded a diverse discography and commissioned several works. To maintain the choir's distinctive sound, Cabut has older members guide younger ones and provides coaching in non-verbal expression and stage presence. Among the choir's memorable highlights are both its performance at the Sydney Opera House in 2019 and the intergenerational recording of "Brume" as a message of hope and solidarity during the pandemic, in which 240 current and former members took part.
