Music Cordiale 8th year

Musique Cordiale 2012 is now in its 8th year!
 
2012 offers new repertoire, lovely singers and lots of great players, with lunchtime and evening orchestral concerts, chamber music, recitals and Jazz, with the choir joining in the second week to perform the sublime Mozart C minor Mass and the Poulenc Gloria, conducted by Tom Seligman.
 
The a cappella repertoire will include the Allegri Miserere, Morten Lauridsen Madrigali, the Barber Adagio and a specially commissioned piece by Cecilia McDowall for 6 voices and solo cello.
Andrew Staples will return to Musique Cordiale to sing Britten’s Les Illuminations and bring a ‘Consort’ of male voices to perform the glorious repertoire of close harmony, part songs and madrigals plus the Lutheran Mass in G major by J.S. Bach.
 
A group of students from the Zurich Hochschule der Kunst are coming to Musique Cordiale for the first time. Other artists who will return to Seillans this year include Dima Bawab, Sam Evans, Chris Hoyle, Michel Tirabosco and Jean-Marie Reboul.
 
The artist Sarah Bryant will be exhibiting her paintings at ‘Scenes from Musique Cordiale’ this year, and we are also inviting other artists, including Vincent Fournier, Tessa Peskett, Clara Medek, Elizabeth Bouchard and Martin Naumann to exhibit their work as well. There will be a collection of photographs from past festivals included in the exhibition.
