\r\nFor the first time, the Maison Jean Cocteau is organizing many concerts illustrating the poet's passion for music and his friendship with twentieth-century musicians. This series of six open-air concerts - weather permitting - aims to illustrate the extraordinary place that musical creation occupied in Jean Cocteau's world, all aesthetic diversities taken together.<\/p>\r\n
The composers of the past about whom the poet wrote so much - such as Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel - rub shoulders with his contemporaries or near contemporaries, such as Reynaldo Hahn, Igor Stravinsky, Erik Satie, the \u201cGroupe des Six\u201d and Piaf. Cocteau's extraordinary eclecticism and passion for the many art forms of his time take us into the world of song and dance, as well as music for ballet and film.<\/p>\r\n
Each hour-long concert features a mix of original works and transcriptions, for vocal and instrumental ensembles ranging from piano recitals to trios. At each concert, in the spirit of the music salons, the musicians will say a few words about the works being performed.<\/p>\r\n
For this series of concerts, composer Marc-Olivier Dupin has been asked to devise a program reflecting the diversity of Jean Cocteau's musical tastes and influences.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/www.cocteau.mathilde-letard.com\/en\/cat-event\/musical-saturdays-at-jean-cocteaus-house\/","name":"Musical Saturdays at Jean Cocteau's house","slug":"musical-saturdays-at-jean-cocteaus-house","taxonomy":"cat-event","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
