Festival Sido&Co : éveil musical au son d'un violon

Nursery rhymes and classical music for young ears are on offer as part of the Monte le Son 2026 festival.

At the outset, a loop: the folia, that baroque bass which returns endlessly through its variations, and the madness it mimes, thought caught in its own turn. From this whirling, the cellist draws a programme in which she both plays and sings.

Les Folies d'Espagne, inspired by Marin Marais, open the concert, the solo cello laying down the motif that turns.

Then the voice settles in, between personal songs and the repertoire, evoking amorous madness, the folly of men who destroy what sustains them, the beauty of sirens that leads astray, the loneliness that drives one mad in Purcell.

The voice then withdraws, and the solo cello remains, yet now become immense. After an improvisation that lowers its strings, Kodály's Sonata op.

8 closes the concert on its vastest madness: Hungarian folk song, the trance of the fiddler, a single instrument that contains a whole orchestra. Presented as part of the Festival Sido&Co, a festival of expanded classical music in the 10th arrondissement.
