Musical experience - The viola da gamba today! On-site
Les Ombres - Margaux Blanchard et Marie-Catherine Massé FranceMédiathèque Emile Zola (Montpellier), 218, boulevard de l’Aéroport international, Montpellier
From Tous les matins du monde to contemporary opera, the viola da gamba travels, questions and fascinates. As part of the European Early Music Days, Margaux Blanchard, violist and co-artistic director of the baroque music ensemble Les Ombres, and the violin maker Marie-Catherine Massé will enlighten you with music and images on the past, present and future history of a family of instruments unlike any other.
Duration: 45 minutes
Free admission subject to availability
Sought after for the generosity of her musical gesture, the violinist Margaux Blanchard is sought after by the musical directors Jordi Savall, Leonardo García Alarcón and François-Xavier Roth, and has performed at the Garnier, Bastille and Comique opera houses and in Versailles, Amsterdam, Cologne, Geneva, Buenos Aires, Tokyo and New York. A complete artist, she has sung in opera from a very young age, and has an instinctive relationship with the stage. Singing guides her in her quest for the "ideal phrasing", dance inspires her rhythmic architecture, with the practice of keyboards, from piano to harpsichord, as a foundation. As a child, she discovered and was initiated into the playing of the treble and bass viol with Ariane Maurette at the CRR in Paris, and deepened her knowledge during her master's degree with Paolo Pandolfo at the Schola Cantorum in Basle, and outside with Jordi Savall, Marianne Muller and Jérôme Hantaï.
In demand as a soloist, chamber musician and continuo player, it was through her encounter with the Argentine harpsichordist and conductor Alarcón that she naturally turned to accompanying singers. He spotted her in 2005 at the Ambronay Academy, and in 2007 invited her to join the continuo of his ensemble Cappella Mediterranea. In 2008 she co-founded the ensemble Les Ombres, and in 2009 she was one of the youngest graduates. Since 2011 she has been teaching the harmonic and melodic duality of her instrument.
She is developing her network in Switzerland and France, and in Occitania she is setting up her ensemble with the flutist Sylvain Sartre, whom she met at the Schola. Together, they compose immersive performances that have made their group a collective in its own right, with a desire to reach out to all audiences for over ten years.
Marie-Catherine Massé discovered violin making as a teenager, when she went to a workshop to have her grandfather's violin serviced. After her baccalaureate, she joined the Bottega di Parma school in Italy, where she began her two-year apprenticeship. At the same time, she discovered baroque instruments, including the viola da gamba, which led her to West Dean College in England, where she studied violin making and historical research, as well as arching, carving, restoration and instrumental playing. After graduating, she joined London workshops to restore instruments, while maintaining a strong interest in making and working with violin makers.
On her return to France, encouraged by musician friends, she opened her workshop in late 2017 in the heart of Béziers. The workshop is dedicated to the making of violins, violas and cellos, and especially violas da gamba, while keeping a place for maintenance and repairs. The workshop expanded in February 2018, and then opened its doors in Ganges at the beginning of 2022, in a former hosiery factory specially fitted out to accommodate it. Marie-Catherine Massé is the winner of the Artinovart's competition in 2022 in the "Métier d'art" category.

338. Bach-Geburtstag Online and On-site
Köthener BachGesellschaft mbH GermanyChurch of St. Agnus, Stiftstraße 11, 06366 Köthen (Anhalt)
This year, the duo "Ombra e Luce", consisting of Georg Kallweit (baroque violin) and Björn Colell (theorbo), is invited to Köthen (Anhalt). Both musicians have already performed solo and in chamber music ensembles at the Bach Festival in Köthen in recent years. Georg Kallweit is one of Germany's most experienced baroque violinists and an international concert and soloist, including with the Academy of Early Music. Together with Björn Colell, he has developed an impressive and dynamic musical dialogue that is only possible with this unique combination of instruments. On Bach's birthday, they will musically trace the path of the violin sonata from the 17th century to Bach. The duo will be complemented by the Iranian musician Mitra Behpoori who, together with Tar and Ud, brings the ancestors (or mothers) of the European lute to Köthen (Anhalt) and provides an insight into the classical Persian musical tradition from the 18th century to the present. Mitra Behpoori studied in Tehran and works at the Institute for Transcultural Music Studies at the FRANZ LISZT SCHOOL of Music in Weimar. As he does every year, the director of the Köthen Bach Festival, Folkert Uhde, will talk to the musicians and make the connection with the present.

The Institute of Vocal Research & Mediterranean Musical Education (IRVEM), a 1901 association created in 1988, is a research, training and dissemination organisation. It is composed of researchers, teachers and professional singers, dancers and actors. The work since 1990 with its president, Benoît Amy de la Bretèque, a phoniatric physician, attached practitioner of the public hospitals of Montpellier and Marseille, doctor in language sciences, allows to bring each person to the mastery of his or her voice, with requirement and dynamism.
The Maîtrise de l'IRVEM welcomes children from 8 years old, teenagers and young adults. It performs in concerts and staged shows, alongside high-level professional artists. This allows her to consider the whole of an artistic adventure with all that it entails: work on vocal technique, discovery of repertoires, consideration of the meaning of words, musicality, history and the historical context of the work, then the meeting with professional musicians, joint musical work, stage work, rehearsals until the end of the concert or show.
Singer and singing teacher, Bertille de Swarte directs the IRVEM choir school, which she created in 1988 in Perpignan, in numerous concerts and staged shows. She has been a DRAC music expert for five consecutive years, and her teaching activities lead her to meet all kinds of audiences on a daily basis: schoolchildren, young children, adults, professional singers, choirmasters, etc. She has made several recordings for organ and baroque plainchant.
After a degree in literature and musicology, Lucie Jolivet continued her studies in the early music department of the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique de Lyon. She currently teaches singing at the Poissy and Châteauroux centres, and medieval music at the Centre de musique médiévale de Paris. She is a member of the Ensemble Discantus directed by Brigitte Lesne, with whom she has made numerous recordings.
