Forêt paisible
© Olivier Calicis
The chirping of birds and the glow of the first stars draw us into a captivating nightscape, where voices carrying the rich vibrations of the Baroque repertoire begin to emerge. A shimmering surface evokes the expanse of a lake, while an intriguing hut stands nearby. We find ourselves in the heart of a forest. Two playful creatures—half-human, half-animal—guide us on this nocturnal journey, soon joined by ethereal beings with crystal-clear voices.
Created especially for very young children, Forêt Paisible invites babies and toddlers to be immersed in a world of sound, where voices move around them, sometimes drawing close, sometimes drifting away. The scenographic environment encourages play and sensory discovery through a variety of engaging materials and objects, including a mirrored floor mat, a fabric hut, soft cushions, wooden logs arranged as a small, safe climbing structure, flowing sails, and sparkling mirrored spheres.
This enchanting experience offers a gentle introduction to Baroque music while nurturing curiosity, imagination, and sensory exploration.

For many listeners, the Highland bagpipe remains inseparable from its cultural roots and traditions. Yet for the Breton musician Erwan Keravec, the instrument also represents a gateway to unexplored musical territories. A piper, composer and pioneering improviser, Keravec has devoted his career to expanding the horizons of the bagpipe, revealing its remarkable potential far beyond its customary setting.
The piano accompanied Mozart throughout his life from early childhood, when he performed in public across Europe. His keyboard works often resonate with those written for larger ensembles or for the operatic stage, serving as a genuine laboratory for new ideas. In the eighteenth century, however, the piano sounded quite different from modern instruments.
