There are evenings that mark you forever and from which nothing can erase the intimate trace. On April 15, 2019, transfixed in front of their television, Laurence Ferrari and violinist Renaud Capuçon experienced a very difficult time. Elliott, their son, was 9 years old and will certainly remember it all his life, like millions of French people.
This painful moment is obviously the fire of Notre-Dame de Paris five years ago. Laurence and Renaud had trembledfearing that the cathedral would collapse and be lost forever. Finally, the fire was contained and, after hard work, the building will reopen to the public on December 8. For the journalist and the musician, it will even be accessible a little earlier…
A few days ago, the couple had the joy of learning that Renaud is one of the artists invited to the inauguration concert of Notre-Dame de Paris on December 7, at 9 p.m. As the daily announced The Parisianhe and his brother, the cellist Gautier, will play alongside big names like the Chinese pianist Lang Lang, the French-American violinist of Chinese origin Yo-Yo Ma, the South African soprano Pretty Yende, who sang at the coronation of the King of England Charles III, and singer Angélique Kidjo. The rumor even mentions the arrival of Paul McCartney and Garou…
Laurence Ferrari claims to know the truth
Laurence Ferrari is undoubtedly delighted with this new car her husband's career is closely linked to Notre-Dame. He performed there during the 2020 Easter celebrations, in full confinement, and toured the cathedrals in 2019 to raise funds for the work on the building. In 2020, he declared his joy on BFM TV: “Being able to play in this cathedral during this time, this Covid ordeal that we are all fighting against, it’s magnificent. I am still stunned by the emotional charge of the place.”
It must be said that Renaud is very pious as he confided two years ago in the newspaper The 1visible : “I have the faith of a coal burner, an unshakeable faith. Whatever the nature of events, I have never doubted. I often doubt myself, but I have never doubted for a second the presence of God in my life and in the world. Music is the most beautiful proof of the existence of God. Every time I play music, at every concert, I have tangible proof that God exists.“
Laurence Ferrari shares this conviction. “It carries me. I have a hard time explaining it, she confided in 2008 in The Cross. It's there, it's always been there. I never doubted; that's what faith is. It's in me, so I don't want to rationalize it. I think, that's all. You can show me by A plus B that it's false, I know.” As she undoubtedly knows that the participation of the Capuçon brothers in this very important evening will conclude her year 2024 in the most beautiful way.
