About this concert
8:00 PM GMT+1
A musical frenzy of echoes, space and voices. ‘Vertigo’ is the title of the new project by the French ensemble Pygmalion, which is conducted by its founder, Raphaël Pichon. Structured like grand ecumenical vespers, this programme brings together the greatest German and Italian masters of church music: Praetorius, Schütz, Scheidt and Monteverdi. They respond to each other through echoes, antiphonal singing and spatial effects, turning the polyphony into a jubilant, sensual and exuberant song. It is a celebration of the stylistic fusion that once shaped European music. It is a harmonious fusion of opulence and vocal excellence, an epoch-making dialogue between Italy and Germany, between Mediterranean lightness and Nordic depth.

Artist bio
The historical performance ensemble Pygmalion is unusual in having been established as a joint choral-instrumental group. This background has equipped the group not only for choral music of various periods but also for the exploration of little-known operatic repertory. Pygmalion was founded in 2006 by Raphaël Pichon and managed to create for itself a singular identity in the international musical landscape, thanks to demanding crossed projects meeting both critical and popular success. For his lyrical works, Pygmalion collaborates with directors such as Romeo Castellucci, Katie Mitchell, Aurélien Bory, Simon McBurney, Jetske Mijnssen, Pierre Audi, Valérie Lesort, Christian Hecq or Michel Fau.
Pygmalion regularly performs on the most prestigious French stages (Philharmonie de Paris, Opéra royal de Versailles, Opéra-Comique, Aix-en-Provence, Beaune, Toulouse, Saint-Denis, Royaumont, Nancy, Montpellier etc.) and international (Köln, Frankfurt, Essen, Vienna, Amsterdam, Beijing, Hong Kong, Barcelona, Brussels etc.).
Pygmalion has been recording for Harmonia Mundi since 2014. His discography has been distinguished in France and abroad: Victoire de la musique Classique, Classica's Choc, Gramophone Award, Diapason d’or, Preis der Schallplattenkritik…
