Musical initiation

 

Les Talens Lyriques offer pupils an introduction to Baroque instruments and music through:

- visits-workshops at the Museum of Music:

Following a thematic visit focusing on the Baroque repertoire, the pupils themselves play an arrangement of the Passacaille from Armide, a lyric tragedy of Jean-Baptiste Lully, court composer of Louis XIV. The pupils also learn about the characteristic instruments of the Baroque period: stringed instruments (from violin to double bass), viola da gamba, harpsichord, spinet, recorders, etc.

- orchestra workshops:

Les Talens Lyriques organize orchestra workshops at the Varèse junior high school (Paris, 19th) where they have a set of instruments, in the spirit of the workshops given at the Museum of Music.

- concerts-workshops in class:

Some of the pupils play the teaching instruments at workshops led by the musicians and the mediator of Les Talens Lyriques, Clément Lebrun.
