De l’art subtil de la transcription – Méli-mélo en musique
Concert
30 May 2026
Transcription is the adaptation of a musical work for an instrument other than the one for which it was composed. In his time, J.S. Bach himself arranged several of Vivaldi's concertos for the organ.
Come discover a concert full of nuances, where the art of transcription unfolds like a true play of musical mirrors. Triple harp, viola da gamba, harpsichord, and cello take turns, constantly exploring new sonic colors. J.S. Bach, C.P.E. Bach, C.F. Abel, and J. Kohaut will be featured in this program, where each work is reborn through multi-instrumental practice.
Monodic or polyphonic, soloists or accompanists, these instruments interact in harmony, playing with their roles and registers. The transcriptions, far from betraying the originals, reinvent them and reveal all the richness of these timeless musical works. A delightful hodgepodge that celebrates the freedom to adapt, share, and transmit music, through strings and bows.
