Festival Les Athéniennes – Geneva
Sparkling Venice
Amarillis Ensemble (8 musicians) – directed by Héloïse Gaillard
Dynamic and rhythmic contrasts, singing virtuosity and sensuality of sound colors are in the spotlight in these brilliant concertos which plunge us into the heart of the Serenissima, birthplace of the solo concerto.
This program gives pride of place to wind instruments: the particular color of the double reeds of the baroque oboe blends happily with the softer sound of the recorder or the dazzling virtuosity of the flautino.
Alongside the famous Maestro dei concerti of the Venice Pietà, Antonio Vivaldi, two Venetians are in the spotlight: Alessandro Marcello with his famous oboe concerto and Antonio Caldara.

Chapel of the castle of Mortiercrolles
The Jardin des Délices
Heloïse Gaillard (recorders) & Eleanor Lewis (viola da gamba)
Let's invite our listeners to a trip to Europe ! The title Le Jardin des Délices is borrowed from the collection published in 1649 Containing all the compositions of Jacob van Eyck Carillonneur de la Cathedral d'Utrecht and wonderful flautist. We came from afar to hear it !
Beautiful refrains and other dances dear to French composers will be compared with nostalgic or frenzied melodies that are typically British.. Of the bucolic atmosphere magnified by all kinds of songs of birds, It is the sweet madness that will win with the theme of Follia whose multiple variations should not stop stunning you. Fantasies in rooms, Let yourself be shed without restraint by this language of passions whose baroque music has the secret !

Festival of Saintes |
DESTINIES OF QUEENS
Amarillis (7 musicians) and Patricia Petibon (soprano)
This program echoes the other projects imagined by Amarillis for Patricia Petibon for several years around emblematic female figures. This recital proposes to imagine in music the portraits of three heroine personalities who have marked our universal history. : Eleanor of Aquitaine, Agrippina the Younger and Queen Mary. These three sovereign women, confronted with power, are sometimes manipulative. They experience abandonment and betrayal, but are first of all human and deeply touching.
