Miroirs
March 30 to May 1
The Festival Opéra Festival & Co is an annual event held in the majestic setting of the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris. Each year, Euromusic presents a series of concerts featuring internationally renowned opera artists. These hour-long concerts echo the eternal future.
Résonances
The Claviers festival at the Sainte-Chapelle, also known as Résonances, is an annual musical event held in the breathtaking setting of Paris's Sainte-Chapelle. Celebrating the rich history of keyboard instruments, the festival features a series of concerts showcasing the harpsichord, pianoforte, and modern piano. Each edition presents a diverse and thoughtfully curated program, performed by acclaimed artists from around the world. Through these performances, audiences are invited to explore the evolution of keyboard music and appreciate the depth and variety of its repertoire in a venue renowned for its stunning Gothic architecture and exceptional acoustics.
Music and architecture can keep up with the times.
Music and architecture help to structure space and time. Their relationship to modernity is fundamental: both serve to characterize an era, because they transgress the codes of their time. There is a genuine dialogue between music and architecture, with each artistic period developing its own language and vision of the world through space and sound. The composer is inhabited by acoustics and echoes to compose his masterpiece! The idea of the Baroque is expressed through movement, ornamental richness and illusion.
If Baroque churches play with light, the curvature of forms and the accumulation of details to create an immersive experience, Baroque music plays with movement, expressivity - affects - and ornamentation - trills, appogiaturas, arpeggios - to produce an effect of wonder.
Gregorian chants, for example, rose up in cathedrals, their polyphony accompanying the verticality of Gothic naves. Music and architecture can thus be combined to describe a period. Classicism thus translates into a taste for balance, symmetry and clarity. Mozart goes perfectly with Versailles or the Pantheon.
Music and architecture
are part of the same vision
The Eiffel Tower and the Sainte Chapelle, like the church of Saint-Germain des Prés and its chapel, are emblems of modernity, just as modern as Jazz, Couperin or Bach were in their day. The technical prowess associated with the Eiffel Tower is at once contemporary with Impressionist music (Debussy, Ravel) and the music of Piaf, during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games. The music underlines the monument's character, its metal lacework, its modernity, its spectacular and emotional side. Similarly, the church of St Germain des Prés will be the setting for Bach to Saint-Germain. The Sainte Chapelle invites the finest voices and pianists, those who have helped transform Paris into a luminous spectacle.
Euromusic goes back in time and structures the value of a linear progression from hip hop to Orfeo. Monterverdi, the “rapper of the 17th century”, delivers the first opera in history, hidden away in a bedroom, away from the inquisitive eyes of the religious. The Sainte Chapelle's geographical location at the center of the Palais de la Cité, where Monteverdi was welcomed, played an eminently political role. This passage to the return, this surge of sound that will rise towards the sublime stained glass windows of the Sainte Chapelle, will accompany the spirituality of our architects of the Enlightenment.
Music plays a part in architectural writing, either to accompany the monument in all its contemporary aspects, or to underline one of its essential characteristics. The program developed by Euromusic responds to these two visions of music and architecture. A reversed temporality highlights resonances and filiations, tributes and tributes.
In 2025, Euromusic will attempt to work with time as a musical material to establish harmony between our contemporaries and the most modern of past centuries, inviting the youngest talents to interpret the oldest music under the exceptional glass roofs of the Sainte-Chapelle. Echoes of genius, music fills the monument with wonder: what would art be without vaults, bell towers without notes?
