Presentation
Luminous Night, built around a captivating oxymoron combining light and shadow, expresses a desire forsensory exploration through music. With sacred and spiritual pieces that are at times meditative and at times jubilant, the singers take over the entire space, interacting with the architecture and acoustics to offer the audience a suspended moment. The works interact and follow one another, bathed in an omnipresent light that is reassuring and warm, creating an unforgettable experience.
Concert produced by the Centre des monuments nationaux
