The annual Sainte-Cécile concert of the Bonnes – Saint-Julien-l’Ars musical ensemble, initially scheduled for Saturday December 7, had to be postponed to Saturday December 21 at 8:30 p.m., to become a Christmas concert at the multipurpose room in Saint-Julien-l’Ars.
A tool for putting together works between musicians
This year, it is the Association of Amateur Musicians of Poitiers (AMA Poitiers) which will be in the spotlight at the start of the concert. A quintet (violin, flute, clarinet, cornet, bass clarinet) will offer a program of classical music from 18e au 20e century. Rosine Chaignaud, lyric soprano who sings in several amateur productions in the region, will be the soloist of the evening.
The AMA Poitiers, founded in 2018, aims to help the practice of amateur chamber music, that is to say music for small groups: duo, trio, quartet and even now quintet. Chaired since the beginning by Robert Louiset, amateur singer and choir director, the association is open to all instrumentalists and opera singers interested in chamber music, whatever their level. It is a tool for meeting partners and creating works together.
On the AMA program, we can cite March of the little lead soldiers of Pierné, Acis and Galatea Handel, Now the hallway by Haydn, Air of the Countess of the Marriage of Figaro by Mozart or even I am the widow of a colonel d’Offenbach.
For its part, the harmony of Bonnes – Saint-Julien-l’Ars, with its dozen musicians, will perform in the second part a new program of film music developed by its conductor Isèle Penaud: My Uncle, La Vita è bella, La Valse by François Truffaut, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly… The two groups will come together at the end of the concert to play together Sway by Pablo Beltrán Ruiz.
