Tuesday 5 August
Pierre Génisson & Bruno Fontaine

Songbook – Clarinet & Piano

 

What could be more soothing than a familiar melody, whispered like a personal message? Bruno Fontaine - whom we welcomed for the 2024 Nocturnes alongside Lambert Wilson - returns this evening with Pierre Génisson, a clarinettist acclaimed for his expressive playing and eclectic repertoire. Together, they invite us to drift between the greats of French chanson and American standards, gliding from Charles Aznavour and Charles Trenet to Richard Rodgers and Cole Porter. The gardens of the Villa will echo with the sounds of Syracuse, La Javanaise, and What a Wonderful World.

 

This musical evening offers an intimate and original reimagining, brought to life by two long-time artistic companions, inviting us on an inner journey shaped by timeless songs.
