For this second Concert at 12:30 in the Triumph of Melody and the Lied cycle, Orsay-Royaumont Academy laureates Cyrielle Ndjiki Nya and Kaoli Ono explore the work of the only sculptor to belong to the Nabi group of artists: Georges Lacombe.
Birth, Existence, Love and Death are the four themes developed by Georges Lacombe in these reliefs, which were originally bed frames. Inspired by this sculpted series, the soprano Cyrielle Ndjiki Nya and the pianist Kaoli Ono have concocted a program that unfolds like a life path.
