Where is the beef...?
In a context where the most pessimistic prophecies of Tocqueville (the "mediocrity
of the democratic individual") and the nihilism of Nietzsche ("self-hatred"),
where the collective and individual imagination is drastically limited to
that of the unlimited expansion of production and consumption to the extreme
point of jeopardizing the very chances of survival of our Humanity, the
evolution of the culture which is not without relationship with the inertia
and passivity which characterizes our time, tends always more towards the
entertainment and the immediate satisfaction of a conformist pleasure.
One could be tempted to think that the forces of musical creation could
be affected by this. Fortunately, this is not the case. However the evolution
of the XVIII° century to the middle of the XX° century which saw
the emergence of an autonomous and reflecting subject open to the creation,
therefore to the chaos and the abyss, to which it gives form, abolishing
the stupid insurance of our daily life seems seriously slowed down.
Its rebirth will probably be leaning on a vast social-historical movement
able to reinvent this autonomy at worst lost, at best left fallow.
It depends on those who have a direct and active relationship with culture and on their capacity to act freely and responsibly, whether this lethargy is only a parenthesis. For us interpreters and creators, it simply does not exist.
The present is resolutely creative and open to the future: This is what
the creations of Brice Pauset, Maël Bailly and Augustin Braud testify
to during the 21/22 season. We invite you to discover them with enthusiasm
through our concerts and radio and recordings with the release of two new
CDs, one in October 21 entitled "Surface" and devoted to the works
of Ricardo Nillni and the other one in Avril 22 entitled "Columbia
on the move" with works by Alex Mincek, Mario Diaz de Leon, Eric Wubbels
and Askhan Behzadi.
