The Bird Concert
29 May/14h30 France / Septmoncel les Molunes (39) - Haut Jura festival
Birdsong has inspired composers since the dawn of time. The first instruments made by man were flutes and bird calls. But is birdsong imitable, and can we compete with birds?
The ensemble La Rêveuse, with its ancient instruments with funny names like the bird flageolet, the pardessus de viole and the theorbo, offers us a whimsical, colourful, funny and poetic programme dedicated to birdsong. Birdsong has inspired composers since the dawn of time. But can birdsong be imitated? Can you imitate any bird? In the charming little chapel of Cariche, nestling in a combe in the heart of nature, this concert is like an enchanted interlude between science, nature and culture.
