Premiere and creation

Carried by music that is particularly dear to her, the soprano Marianne Lambert invites us on a deeply moving musical journey, exploring motherhood and her personal journey marked by challenges and bereavement. These moments are told by the voice of the sea, which becomes a character in its own right, with waves and tides reflecting the intense emotions of the story. This poignant account is magnified by the works of great composers such as Barber, Ravel, Debussy, Britten, and Mahler. A multimedia concert in an intimate setting. An unforgettable musical experience!
