In duet for more than 25 years now, Donatienne Michel-Dansac and Vincent Leterme are internationally recognized for their eclecticism and the diversity of their repertoire.
La voix dans tous ses états is an invitation to enter the various fields of vocality. Like a geographical map or a linguistic dictionary, voice writing is a guide that allows the interpreter to go further and further in his technical and interpretative possibilities.
From recitative to song, from the spoken voice to the sung voice, from the child's voice to the most exuberant, they will present emblematic works of the repertoire and other surprises: one is never done with the voice.
