Les Métaboles Vocal Ensemble · Léo Warynski, director
Janmot in Music

Les Métaboles are a group of professional singers who perform pieces from the a cappella choral repertoire. The program for this Concert at 12:30, held alongside the “Louis Janmot, The Poem of the Soul” exhibition, is made up of works imbued with mysticism and marked by the spiritual quest, including a number of William Blake’s poems set to music.
Created in 2010 at the initiative of Léo Warynski, Les Métaboles Vocal Ensemble takes its name from a composition by Henri Dutilleux (1916-2013), based on the notion of metamorphosis: the choir has an extraordinary ability to transform itself in order to match different repertoires. So there’s no doubt it will recreate to perfection the mystical breadth required by the concert’s program. It’s worth noting that the concert includes musical settings of several poems from Songs of Innocence and Experience by William Blake, whose work is compared with Janmot’s in the exhibition
