Bach ou l'infini au bout des doigts

Presented by TANDEM CONCERTS / ARTS SCÈNE DIFFUSION in partnership with the Town of Marly-le-Roi

BACH OU L’INFINI AU BOUT DES DOIGTS

Written and performed by Pascal AMOYEL

Directed by Christian Fromont

In this show, which alternates music and storytelling, Pascal Amoyel does far more than perform (magnificently) at the piano some of the most beautiful pages of Bach. He also shares the keys to his passion for this man and this musical genius, a musician who was at once poet, mathematician and philosopher.

‘My first encounter with Bach took place when I was around 7 or 8. I have to admit, I didn’t much like his music. Until that day… I was visiting Notre-Dame Cathedral for the first time. Suddenly, from nowhere, a monumental, colossal, dizzying sound burst out from the depths of the stone. I had the sensation that the columns, the entire vaults, had begun to sing. I, who was not a believer, caught myself thinking: “If God exists, then it is He who is speaking.” In a fraction of a second, I knew: it was Bach.’

Pupils of the Conservatoire Roger Bourdin will perform in the opening set of this concert.
