Each year, the assembly seems more numerous to give a standing ovation to the New Year’s concert given by the Fleurantine harmony. It amounted to around 800 people on Sunday!
The Orchester Sud-Gironde (Bazas) opened the ball by offering a completely different and assertive repertoire. Chef Gilles Dubard thanked for the welcome.
Then, it was La Fleurantine’s turn to speak. The presentations follow one another and are not alike. Yet the same cheerfulness and humor remain, always skilfully handled, today by Olivier Pouech. Vincent Blesz specified that the harmony presented four new Viennese pieces, praising the performance of the musicians who performed on the flute, clarinet and percussion pieces that are normally played on the violin! A difficult exercise since it goes beyond the usual context of traditional harmony Music, also praising the arrangers, those little hands who do all the work. The members of the office also do remarkable work all year round: the staging that we were able to see was superb, worthy of professionals.
The two groups finished together with the essential “Radetzky March” which was a real success, in a real fireworks display!
