Clash Electro - De Vivaldi à Daft Punk

This Clash starts from a simple idea: baroque and classical music already carried a rhythmic power and a sense of groove long before machines, beats and turntables.

Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart or Beethoven made their era vibrate with a striking modernity. Were they among us today, they would no doubt collaborate with the contemporary producers of Air and Daft Punk, and invent new forms blending strings, mandolin, flute and electronics.

The project embodies a new generation of musicians freed from the boundaries of style and repertoire. Classical, electronic, jazz, pop: everything flows with total freedom, driven by strong artistic demands and an immediately infectious energy.

The instruments engage in dialogue with the machine, acoustic timbres merge into electronic textures, and virtuosity becomes the engine of a living, direct and embodied music.

The programme thus brings together works from the repertoire, electronic pulses, groove basslines and pop energy. Bach, Vivaldi, Beethoven, Debussy or Stravinsky cross paths with Justice, Air, Jean Michel Jarre, Michael Jackson and Daft Punk in a single surge.

A jubilant, virtuosic and free Clash, where the centuries provoke one another, answer each other and finally dance together.
