FESTIVAL MARS EN BAROQUE / ENSEMBLE CONCERTO SOAVE - France

Mars en Baroque is a festival around early music that takes place every March in different places in Marseille. Curious, greedy for experiences and encounters, it offers to come and discover the vitality of this music by exploring all their riches.

Concerto Soave is a baroque music ensemble founded by Jean-Marc Aymes and  María Cristina Kiehr. Concerto Soave celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2022.

As a counterpoint to the Leçons de ténèbres, Zad Moultaka constructs his Exercices de lumières, inserting oriental instruments and modes. The two cycles intertwine, with learned and popular Mediterranean traditions intersecting at the heart of a cathartic and radiant suffering.
A subtle weaving of vocal and instrumental lamentations from the Italian seicento for Holy Week, and contemporary laments, the concert stretches out these fragments of the Lamentations of the Prophet Jeremiah, a timeless symbol of despair, whose painful climate evokes the passion of Christ in a premonitory manner.

Programme: G. Frescobaldi, G. Carissimi, Z. Moultaka
