Canciones celebrates the union of popular culture and art music, with Spanish composers who have had a particular impact on their times. With this thread, we trace an itinerary through the centuries that links Domenico Scarlatti with the popular songs of Federico García Lorca, Manuel de Falla and Maurice Ohana, subtly arranged by Thomas Keck, to the music of today with a new work specially commissioned from Vincent Beer-Demander.

We have chosen to accompany our soprano Amandine Trenc with a most atypical string quartet, made up of string instruments that are not rubbed but plucked and struck, whose mandolin, guitar, harp and cymbalum, the core of the Ensemble C Barré, underline the ardor and resolutely Iberian intensity of these works.
