Conference

By drawing the thread of 200 years of history, rediscover the operatic fantasies which marked the flute repertoire and the composers who contributed to their success in Paris in the second half of the 19th century. In the form of a conference-concert, Jean-Christophe Maltot will be accompanied by Laëtitia Brault to analyze, compare, put into sound and compare the tunes of the most famous fantasies of history. You will be invited to unlock the secrets of a creative approach which, through the direct testimony of a composer, places itself at the service of the expressiveness and virtuosity of the flautists.
