THE MORNING LIST
After concerts by pop, song and rap stars, for which we recommended, in a previous list, that you act quickly to reserve seats, here is a selection of classical music, jazz and so-called world music.
Musica Festival goes Dutch
Emblematic of the European dimension of Strasbourg, the city that has hosted it since its origins in 1983, the Musica festival has traditionally drawn closer to Germany. This year, it will broaden its horizons to the Netherlands by inviting prestigious ensembles (Asko, Schönberg, Klang) and by programming, during its opening night, the historic The State (1972), by Louis Andriessen, a leading figure of minimalism. The Dutch dominance will allow Musica to bring together contemporary music and clubbing by welcoming Rewire, the festival “electro” of the Hague. However, the geographical anchoring – or even national, because the 2024 edition of Musica is intended to be political – will not prevent the festival from showing its support for extraordinary creators, such as Jennifer Walshe (performance), Benjamin Dupé (associated with a neuroscience expert), Benjamin de la Fuente and Samuel Sighicelli (within the Caravaggio formation confronted with the Percussions de Strasbourg). Not forgetting François Sarhan, a multidisciplinary creator who appears to be a bit like the common thread (exhibition, musical theater, concert) of Musica 2024. P. Gi.
Musica Festival, in various locations in Strasbourg. From September 20 to October 2. From €7 to €25. €11 per concert for Musica Card holders (€25)

He has brought together around him a host of Malian musicians (Ballaké Sissoko Orkestra, Badjé Tounkara – n’goni lute player), from Guinea and Ghana – including the singer and musician Osei Korankye. The Malian actor Habib Dembélé will masterfully take on the role of epic storyteller.
After a day devoted to instrument practice workshops on Saturday, the following day, Sunday 22 (at 8 p.m.), the radiant Malian singer, guitarist, and songwriter Fatoumata Diawara will present, accompanied by the Ostinato orchestra, the repertoire of her album Maliba (2022). P. La.
