Ensemble Cythera – Mihály Zeke, direction

By | Artistas | No Comments

MZsexy conducting reworked

Cythera is a European chamber choir founded by Mihály Zeke in 2019 following his years at the head of Arsys Bourgogne, whence the new ensemble’s core members are issued. Cythera is born out of the desire to form a new group of international composition and open to new forms of artistic collaboration. The ensemble’s size varies around an average of 24 singers according to each different project. The choir is dedicated to bringing the best choral music, old and new, to audiences while striving for the highest standard of technical quality and for passionate expressiveness. Cythera’s project assumes a pan-European dimension, reflecting its members’ provenance from ten different countries. The choir’s ambition is to present audiences with the greatest works of choral literature past and future in the highest artistic quality. Cythera’s singers, chosen for their unique artistic personality, are marked by high individual skill as soloists in a wide range of repertoire as well as by their capacity to blend into a homogeneous sound.

5 diapasons pour l’Ensemble Les Meslanges

By | News | No Comments

5 diapasons Meslanges

Pour bien commencer l’année que nous vous souhaitons la plus agréable: 5 Diapasons pour le second volume des Messes retrouvées de Titelouze.

“Les Meslanges ont l’enthousiasme des défricheurs. La doublure des voix par des cornets, sacqueboutes, serpent ou violes crée de riches couleurs, sans jamais masquer la profération d’un texte savamment prosodié qui est leur raison d’être …. La cohérence est telle qu’au détour d’un enchaînement, le miracle se produit : la première note de l’orgue semble sortir d’un gosier…” Vincent Genvrin Diapason, janvier 2021.

Alexandre Collard
 
First Prize winner at the Prague Spring International Music Competition in 2018 – along with the prize for best interpretation of the contemporary piece, the International Horn Society Prize, the Radio Free Europe Prize and a further nine awards, Second Prize winner at the Città di Porcia International Competition in 2013 and laureate of the Autumn Music Festival Competition (FMAJI) in 2011, Alexandre Collard has been among the elite musicians of his generation since his studies, first with Guy Mouy in Douai and then with André Cazalet at the Paris Conservatory.
A lover of the great symphonic repertory, Alexandre joined the Lille National Orchestra as solo horn at the age of 21, and has also played with the London Symphony Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra, the Philharmonique de Radio France and Dissonances, as well as performing solo concertos.
He is regularly invited to prestigious international chamber music festivals (Juventus, Deauville, Prague, Ticino etc.), and has played there together with artists such as Alena Baeva, Alissa Margulis, Graf Mourja, David Petrlik, Julian Steckel, Marie Hallynck and Jonas Vitaud.
His desire to explore the chamber music repertory led him to create the Ensemble Polygonestogether with his cellist wife, Natacha Colmez. This group mixes winds, strings and piano in a flexible, geometrically variable manner that allows them to interpret a great variety of works ranging from the very famous to lesser known treasures, contemporary pieces and spectacles for young audiences. The group has a particularly close collaboration with the composer Camille Pépin, and recently recorded a CD of her chamber music. He also plays sonata with the pianist Nicolas Royez, their first disc Aquarelles is to be released in January 2021.
Renowned pedagogue, he teaches in Douai, his hometown’s conservatory.

Collectif Trytone

Collectif Trytone : Founded in 2016 by pianist Lucie de Saint Vincent, the Collectif Trytone came together around the idea of a musical synthesis, seeking to open the borders between musics, musicians, and the public. The Collectif explores a universe of possibilities, aiming to break down both stylistic and musical barriers. Meeting at the intersection of Baroque, Classical music and jazz, mixing different kinds of improvisations, this unconventional quintet creates a symbiosis between these genres and practices, bringing the music of the past into a contemporary context. Back to Bach, the Collectif’s first album, draws on the music of J.S. Bach as a wellspring of inspiration.
