The Cistercian Abbey of Fontfroidein L’hearswelcomes until July 8, 2022, 9 “seniors”, aged over 16, and 8 “juniors”, including two 9-year-old students from the Perpignan Conservatory, for the 20th annual cello residency.
Moments of sharing and conviviality
The deep sound of their instrument resonates daily in the former monks’ dormitory, a place so dear to Gustave Fayet, who made it his music room at the beginning of the 20th century. Ricardo Viñes, Richard Burgsthal, Odilon Redon and other Fontfroidiens met here for moments of sharing and conviviality. They would certainly have liked to discuss music with Lluis Claret, heir to the line of great teachers Maurice Gendron and Enric Casals, brother of Pablo.
Passion
Luis Clarett who for many years has passed on his passion and his know-how to these young students welcomed in Fontfroide, some of whom are part of the great orchestras of today. This is the case with Blaise Déjardin, a former participant in the Master class, now principal cello at the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Or even Caroline Sypniewski, classic revelation 2017 and Grand Prix Académie Ravel 2018 as well as Antoine Payen, better known as Tonycello, who for many years has been performing in France on stages from various backgrounds. Anna Mora, cellist and teacher of the “junior” section, and Maruxa Llorente, faithful pianist of the Master class, complete this exceptional residence.
Closing concert on July 8 at 9:00 p.m.
A 20th Master class which will end on July 8, at 9:00 p.m., with the traditional closing concert. On the program, “El cant dels ocells” (the song of the birds), a piece dear to Pablo Casals. Music that all the cellists will play with passion, accompanied by Lluis Claret and Anna Mora. Previously, each “senior” will come to interpret the piece studied and deepened during the Master class for a diverse and varied musical program.
