Nicolas Dufetel
Between Music and Nature, unsuspected links...
By expressing the "Four Seasons" through music, Vivaldi embodies the way musicians can sing, evoke and imitate nature. But he is far from being the only composer to be interested in nature. Many others, such as Purcell, Beethoven, Liszt, Wagner, Respighi, etc. have succeeded in painting with music the fauna, the flora and even climate hazards.
This year, Nicolas Dufetel invites you to follow this path between music and philosophy, between "sound painting" and environment.
All August evenings will be presented by Nicolas Dufetel.
