ballarte ensemble

A room of our own

The concert is inspired by Renaissance and Baroque consort music and mixes works from different geographical origins with Italian madrigals, English instrumental pieces and French chansons. Although it is a traditional concert format focusing on a specific repertoire, the aim is to create an immersive experience as the musicians will play the works in stereo from different positions in the audience. The audience will be spread around tables where they can enjoy a relaxed aperitif while the musicians search for corners and envelop the audience with sound. During the hour-long program, different spatial forms will be proposed, always static, surrounding the audience, meeting in the middle or creating a dialogue from one side of the room to the other. A tribute to the historical performance in which the musicians read from the same book, from a table, etc. Finally, the presence of female composers in the design of the music programme is worth mentioning: our aim is to justify the naturalization of mixed programmes and the existence of numerous female composers, even if this is not at the heart of our concept.
