VILLENEUVE-LEZ-AVIGNON Music, singing, dancing… a “very high quality” program to discover
31. This is the number of dates listed on the Villeneuve s’enchante program, which extends until the end of 2022. ” It is a rich and very high quality program, to which associations and external speakers have joined“, indicates in the preamble the mayor, Pascale Bories. A brief overview of music, song and dance…
” The objective is to satisfy the taste of an enlightened public but also to interest young people“, bounces Savine Demarquette-Marchat, Deputy Delegate for Culture. Several places will be invested over the course of the events: the Tinel de la Chartreuse, the Saint-Pons media library, the cloister of the Collegiate Church, the chapel of the Gray Penitents… Several dates are also assumed at the open-air theater on the hill of Mourgues, which should find its place between art and nature within the cultural life of Villeneuve. On June 23, at 8.30 p.m., the ballet “L’art d’aimer” by Jean-Claude Gallotta, in partnership with the Avignon Opera Ballet, will find its setting there without artificial light to better reveal this forest of dancers. .
One of the highlights will be the two recitals by renowned cellist Henri Demarquette. He will play Bach’s suites n°1, 3 and 5 on June 4, at 8:30 p.m., in the cloister of the collegiate church, and suites n°2, 4 and 6 on July 6, at 7 p.m. in the gardens of the Abbey. Another not-to-be-missed event is the literary garden festival, organized by Violoncell’Emoi in June and July. Several musical readings will take place in the presence of authors such as Claude Sérillon (June 23 at 6.30 p.m.), Lydie Salvayre (June 24 at 6.30 p.m.) or journalist Patrick de Carolis (June 26 at 6.30 p.m.). For early-morning poets, we recommend the morning garden: from 5:30 a.m., the gardens of the Abbey open for an awakening to reading and music on July 10, 17 and 24.
Drop by Alain Roudier’s lair (impasse Roussière) which holds a collection of around twenty historical instruments, including old keyboards. With his association “Le Temps Regained”, he offers musical visits as well as an academy from June 22 to 26. On June 4, at 4 p.m., at the media library, young audiences (from 4 years old) will also be able to discover the Story of Babar with the music of Francis Poulenc. And the next day, La Divigne hosts a concert of harps given by twenty students from the Yves-Marie Bruel music school, accompanied by a brunch for those who wish. Finally on August 11 and 25, it will be the return of the singing competition of Pascal Fallais and Denis Allemand. Registration is open at [email protected].
