EXCEPTIONAL CONCERT IN TULLE
“WHEN BEAUTY SAVES US”
The Committee of Martyrs of Tulle, in collaboration with the municipality of Tulle and the Departmental Council, invites you to a significant moment of sharing to honor together the memory of the 80th anniversary of the tragic events of 1944 with a tailor-made concert: “When Beauty Saves Us,” which will take place on June 8, 2024, at 8:30 PM, at the Auditorium of the Departmental Council.
A JOURNEY FROM SHADOW TO LIGHT
The exceptional and carefully curated program offers a journey from shadow to light, bringing about tranquility and hope. The pieces have been meticulously selected to provide you with deep reflections on freedom, the elevation of the soul, the quest for peace, and meaning.
The concert will unfold in two parts. The first, presented by two regional artists, Nathalie MARCILLAC (voice) and Frédéric VALY (accordion), both heartfelt artists deeply committed to commemorative events for many years. Their program will feature poems by authors related to the atrocities and sung melodies.
The second part will be presented by two artists, Tamayo IKEDA (Pianist – Japanese artist) and Louis RODDE (Cellist – Paris), who will offer you a unique duo performance. For this occasion, they are performing together for the first time. Particularly moved by the history that brings us together, they have created an initiatory path, choosing works and composers for their historical significance and spiritual depth. It’s a rare opportunity to come together, reflect, and let beauty soothe the present while opening up new futures.
