Description

Paul Dukas's The Sorcerer's Apprentice, a symphonic poem whose popularity was amplified by Walt Disney's animated film Fantasia, is performed by the Kheops ensemble in a version for 6 musicians and arbitrated by Maureen Dor, a conductor like no other!<br><br> Parents and children are invited to a very special kind of concert in the 360-degree Auditorium of La Seine Musicale: the apprentice team (the parents) faces off against the wizard team (the children) in a musical mime game, which follows the fantastic adventures of the young wizard... or rather his misadventures, because he is soon overwhelmed by the magic he uses...<br><br> To tell these adventures through music, Dukas composed evocative themes: the broom that comes to life; the trickling of water; the uncontrollable frenzy of the brooms... A musical playground where young and old alike can explore sounds and instruments through the composer's rich sonic palette and discover music while having fun! So, who will emerge victorious: the parents or the children?<br><br> Distribution :<br> Maureen Dor, actress<br> Kheops Ensemble<br> Ronald van Spaendonck, clarinet<br> Aldo Baerten, flute<br> Elsa de Lacerda, violin<br> Marie Hallynck, cello<br> Sophie Hallynck, harp<br> Muhiddin Dürrüoglu, piano<br> Sybille Wilson, text and direction<br> Muhiddin Dürrüoglu, musical arrangement for sextet<br><br> A co-production of Ensemble Kheops and Compagnie l'Orpiment<br><br> Program :<br> Paul Dukas, The Sorcerer's Apprentice: A musical show moderated by Maureen Dor
