A folk ball is organized in this town in Eure this Saturday

For several weeks, the Seine Normandie Agglomération (SNA) conservatory has resembled a beehive. All teachers and almost all students preparing for several major events.

Twentieth edition

Firstly, the folk day organized Saturday January 18, in Vernon (Eure). Twenty years already since the teachers of the SNA conservatory introduce traditional music and do dancer the Vernonnais who are willing during the folk day.

“To celebrate the 10 answe had covered a piece played every year since the beginning. We are going to do the same by performing a piece played every year since 2015 for the twentieth anniversary,” explains Marielle Tupin, saxophone teacher and main organizer of this highly festive event.

New dimension this year

A new dimension this year since the classes of current music and electro-acoustic will be added to the various usual orchestras (the 2nd cycle wind orchestra, the guitar ensemble, the folk ensemble, the percussion, the improv workshop, the masters and the young choir and the musical training classes).

Two guests will also be present, Marion Larigaudrie and her violin who was one of the pioneers of the folk day, and Aurélien Noël, passionate accordionist. Students from the conservatory's dance classes participated in a Master Class with the electro folk group La Sauterelle, host of the evening, whose music is inspired by both the tradition of Brittany and house music. They will thus be able to guide the steps of the dancers during the ball.

Two other events with music should be noted in your diaries: the night of the conservatories, a national event for 12 years, Friday January 24 from 6:30 p.m. in the rotunda of the Vernon conservatory and the symphony concert dedicated to Beethoven February 2 at 4 p.m. atEspace Philippe-Auguste.

Folk day: Saturday January 18 at the Espace Philippe-Auguste, at 5:30 p.m. student concert in the auditorium, at 7 p.m. shared meal with music and images, at 9 p.m. folk ball hosted by the duo La Sauterelle.
