"Nos larmes danseront" concert aux chandelles à l'église Saint-Nicolas de Meursault

The programme "Nos larmes danseront" is an anthology of motets, madrigals and songs from the Renaissance and the early Baroque period by the masters of the genre: Gesualdo the timeless, Monteverdi the sensual, but also Lassus the unavoidable and many other Italian, French and English composers. Whether sacred or secular music, these composers have deployed their talent to depict the tears of repentance or mourning, compassion, the tensions of desire or the joy of love. A 70-minute concert, a cappella by candlelight, which takes the listener from the darkness of the soul to the light of resurrection, from the dark torments of love to the joy of mutual feelings!

Ksàng 10 consists of 13 amateur and semi-professional singers. They have a solid vocal technique, are passionate about choral singing and all have experience of early music. They sing in various ensembles in the Grand Est and some of them are choirmasters themselves. Most of them attended the master class on Renaissance music with Lucien Kandel organised by Ksàng and CADENCE in January 2019, which was the genesis of this project. Isabelle Diverchy, a member of the ensemble Capriol et Cie, a singer and a specialist in Old French and Renaissance dances, provided valuable advice to the project.
