Hill and Christine Blasey Ford Katherine FitzGibbon, conductor The composer writes: Writing LISTEN was an emotional process. The first hurdle was deciding which excerpts from the testimonies of Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford to set, which meant reading and listening and living inside these women’s harrowing stories for an extended period. And like most women, the most discomfiting aspect of listening to their testimony is the recognition. When I first heard about Ford’s experience, I was disturbed by its similarity to an incident that happened to me. I went to an all-girls private school, and we sometimes partnered with an all-boys private school for musicals. One night when I was 15, after a performance, while we were still on stage, one of the boy...    less

Guillaume: Musique Fidèle compagnon, expression de nos âmes, Musique, nous t’aimons, rallume notre flamme… Tu es la vie, tu es lumière; Tu es la flamme qui éclaire. Du lever du soleil jusqu’aux ombres du soir, Dans nos moments d’angoisse, au sein de nos déboires, À toute heure, en tous lieux, En toutes circonstances tu brilles sous nos yeux. Musique de nos joies! Musique de nos pleurs! Que serions-nous sans toi? Tu es notre Bonheur. Par ta douce clarté ranime notre monde; Remplis-nous à jamais d’une bonté profonde. Que les hommes, tous en chœur, chantent tes mélodies, Pour que notre univers devienne symphonie. Musique, nous t’aimons, ranime notre monde. - - - English Poetic Translation: Music Loyal companion, expression of o...    less

Depuis sa création, Para L’Elles s’est déjà produit plusieurs fois en Ile-de-France (Paris et banlieue) et dans le Périgord, individuellement et lors de rencontres musicales, soit a cappella soit accompagné au piano ou par un Ensemble instrumental. L’Ensemble est actuellement constitué de sept chanteuses amateurs confirmées, venues d’univers professionnels très différents mais que la passion du chant réunit. Elles peuvent être tour à tour soliste au sein de l’Ensemble.  less

Building upon the inspiration from such groups as Rajaton, The King’s Singers, and The Real Group, Six has charted a unique path, combining choral, pop, world, and folk influences, surprising audiences everywhere with the versatility and blend of their voices. To categorize their genre is difficult; to experience their music is indescribable. The members of Six come from entirely different musical backgrounds. In its inception, Six came together as a group of opera and rock singers, jazz artists and choral traditionalists. From amidst this diversity a common goal has seamlessly forged a unified and surprisingly unique a cappella sound. New and returning audiences alike are left constantly amazed at the musical possibilities of the human voice. As the group continue to develop, each member brings different strengths, adding to the complexity that makes Six Vocal Ensemble. This diversity all...    less
