Info for Belle époque !

For her second recital with piano, mezzo-soprano Adèle Charvet reunites with Florian Caroubi, who has been her regular duo partner since 2015. Together they celebrate the belle époque of the great French melodists (Massenet, Debussy, Fauré) and their protégés, including Chausson, Hahn, Koechlin, Aubert, Caplet, Messager, Enesco, Albéniz, Madeleine Dubois and Nadia Boulanger, as well as the much less known Xavier Leroux and Ernest Moret. This is a programme about lines of descent and musical transmission, energised by the texts of great poets such as Verlaine, Mallarmé, Maeterlinck, Banville, Leconte de Lisle, Louÿs and Toussaint.
