Festival de Bach à Bacchus - Concert du Kaléid Brass pour le centenaire de l’arrivée de l'orgue Mutin Cavaillé-Coll à l'église de Meursault

In 1926, the Mutin Cavaillé-Coll organ in the Church of Saint-Nicolas in Meursault found its place in the heart of the village, beginning a new life after having resounded in the prestigious Théâtre du Châtelet. Built by Charles Mutin for the Orchestre Colonne, this singular instrument took up an audacious challenge: combining the ability to dialogue with a symphony orchestra with the ingenuity of an organ capable of being dismantled and transported to suit the shows presented at the Châtelet. Inaugurated in 1908, it already carried the breath of the great orchestral frescoes.
One hundred years after its arrival in Meursault, this organ has been restored to the splendour of its origins. The Kaléid Brass revives the spirit of the inaugural concert and gives a new voice to Camille Saint-Saëns's monumental Symphony for Organ, in a luminous transcription devised by Thierry Caens for brass and percussion. A meeting of timbres and breaths, where the memory of the place dialogues with the vibrant impetus of the present.
Works by Wagner and Sibelius complete the programme.
