artistes internationaux qui jouent la musique classique et contemporaine. HELMUT LACHENMANN Artistes: Image Helmut Lachenmann grew up in Stuttgart, where he studied piano with Jürgen Uhde, theory and composition with Johann Nepomuk David from 1955 to 1958. He continued his studies in Venice with Luigi Nono who welcomes him into his home and whose influence will be decisive. He returned to Germany in 1961. From 1963 to 1965, he took courses in Karlheinz Stockhausen for new music in Cologne. After an internship at the Electronic Studio in Ghent and winning the first prize from the city of Munich in 1965, he taught at the Musikhochschule in Stuttgart (1966-1970) then in Ludwigsburg (1970-1976). He was then appointed professor of composition in Hanover (1976-1981) then in Stuttgart (1981-1999). In 2010, he was a visiting professor at the Musikhochschule Basel. Among the many invitations to give composition seminars are Darmstadt (several times since 1972), Basel (1972-1973), Brazil (1978 and 1982), Toronto (1982), Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile and Tokyo ( 1984), Blonay, (1988), Akyoshida (Japan, 1993), Viitasaari (Finland, 1998), Acanthes (1999), New York (Juilliard School, 2001), the Fromm Foundation (Harvard, 2008). Helmut Lachenmann's music, which he calls " Klang Komposition (the composition of sound), come " both an aesthetic purification and a profound rejection of any form of pre-codified order. Composed of squeaks, frictions and squeals, it mainly leads to a reflection on sound and noise. » After his first piano and composition studies (with Johann Nepomuk David), Lachenmann spent two years (1958-1960) in Venice, with Luigi Nono , whose teaching then focused on a critical relationship to musical material; for Nono, at that time, a trill already took on a citational, even reactionary character. At the end of the 1960s Lachenmann would develop what he would call an “instrumental concrete music”, that is to say made up of sounds that were largely “noise” but produced on traditional instruments. It will be a question of highlighting and making felt the "concrete" mode of production of a sound and not of using the abstract result: "What resonates does not resonate according to the sound or its use structural, but indicates the concrete use of energy when the gestures of the musicians are made, making us feel, hear, suspect the mechanical conditions of these actions and the resistances they encounter", he writes, or even, about Air : “ The instrumental action undoubtedly serves a precisely noted sound idea, but it does not disappear behind it; the sound result, on the contrary, wants to draw attention, through a particular corporeity, to the gesture that underlies it, by making us aware of the mechanical and energetic conditions that produced this result. The sound of a violin does not signal consonance or dissonance, but indicates what is taking place - how, under a certain degree of pressure, the hairs become taut, while one rubs in such and such a way and at such a precise location between the bridge and the tailpiece. » Artistes: Text JULIAN BEHR Originally from Lyon, Julien Behr was named ADAMI's “lyrical artist” revelation in 2009 and was one of the three nominated in the “lyrical artist revelation” category at the Victoires de la musique Classique in 2013.

The trio based today in Hamburg has collaborated for nine years already, with many composers - including Mark Andre, Georges Aperghis, Beat Furrer and Helmut Lachenmann - for various disc and radio recordings. Their first CD "In Between" was released in 2014 on the Col Legno label, followed by the second CD "Sanh" in March 2016. Their new album "As if", published in 2019 by the Bastille Musique label, received the German record critic (Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik). In 2012 the Trio won the Hermann and Milena Ebel Prize and in 2014 the Berenberg Cultural Prize, in 2018 it received the Dwight and Ursula Mamlok Prize for the interpretation of contemporary chamber music. The Trio Catch performs in South America, Asia and Europe, in halls such as the Philharmonie de Cologne, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Philharmonie du Luxembourg, the Pierre Boulez hall in Berlin and in festivals such as Musica Strasbourg, the festival Ultraschall Berlin, Heidelberger Frühling, Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, Klangspuren Schwaz and the Wittener Tagus for new Kammermusik. During the 2015/16 season the trio performed in some of the finest concert halls as part of the series Rising Stars of the European Concert Hall Organization (ECHO). The trio also engages in the field of artistic mediation and pedagogy - residency 2014 - 18 at the University of Music in Hamburg with a professorship for the interpretation of contemporary music. He also teaches in various primary schools in the Hamburg region on the model of the JeKi educational project - Jedem Kind ein Instrument : to each child his own instrument - and to the festival Klangspuren (Austria) as part of the workshops for young composers. Since 2016 the Trio Catch has created its own series of concert-workshops "Ohrknacker" - "Cracking ears" - in Berlin and Hamburg which each time presents a contemporary work specially composed for it. © Lennard Ruehle ANTOINE SOBCZAK Born in 1982, Antoine Sobczak studied double bass at the CNR in Strasbourg with Richard Bianco and Stephan Werner.

Portraits croisés au Festival des Volques : Robert Schumann et Betsy Jolas en face à face Par Anne Ibos-Augé - DIAPASON le 13 décembre 2022 Festival Les Volques Pour la troisième année consécutive – après Beethoven/Manoury et Schubert/Lachenmann –, le festival nîmois, sous la présidence de François-Xavier Roth et la direction artistique de Carole Roth-Dauphin, mêle compositeurs et perspectives. Vivant dialogue de genres et de styles. Master-classes, concerts pédagogiques, actions destinés aux personnes « en situation d’immense précarité », projet « Génération Volques » de soutien aux jeunes artistes : le festival nîmois clôt un travail de longue haleine. Marquée par la pandémie, l’édition 2022 témoigne de la grande adaptabilité des artistes, confrontés à diverses défections. Betsy Jolas elle-même, souffrante, s’est prêtée avec une grande générosité au jeu de la visioconférence, offrant au public des échanges émouvants autant qu’éclairants sur quelques-unes des vingt-quatre de ses compositions qui émaillaient l’événement. Scènes de genre et musique pure Au menu du vendredi : pièces de caractère et musique pure. Les premières entrelacent fragments des Waldszenen (Joël Soichez les joue sur un Pleyel carré de 1844) et Épisodes pour clarinette, flûte ou alto seuls (l’après-midi du lendemain accueille l’Épisode IV pour saxophone ténor, très belle pièce à résonances et multiphoniques). Dans la même veine, le Caprice « aléatoire » à une voix (celle d’Anne-Aurore Cochet ) mêle théâtralité et déconstruction poétique. Invitées surprises, Clara Schumann et ses Trois Romances (jouées à l’alto par Carole Roth-Dauphin). Côté musique pure, deux quatuors. Certains mouvements du Quatuor V portent les échos du passé musical cher à Betsy Jolas : résurgences médiévales (organum « enluminant » un cantus firmus voyageur) ou plus tardives (Toccata, choral), « fausses » citations (un motif continu tutti, quelques enchaînements harmoniques évoquent Messiaen ou Dutilleux). L’énergie et la connivence des Diotima font ici merveille, comme dans le Quatuor op. 41 n°1 de Schumann qui suit. Autour du piano Le samedi matin est pianistique. Entre œuvre méconnue (Études en variations sur un thème de Beethoven dévoilées par Cédric Tiberghien ) et cycle phare (Davidsbündlertänze livrées avec émotion par Jean-François Heisser ), se glissent trois pièces de Betsy Jolas (dont Signets en ostinatos superposés) et son Trio 88. Interrogeant le paradigme chambriste, l’œuvre répond en imitations de motifs et de modes de jeu, opposées à de rares temps d’unisson. Deux réponses à Schumann, Frauenliebe et D’un Journal d’Amour convient l’alto, avec piano ou soprano. Dans les titres du premier (dialogue saisissant, « habité » par Laurent Camatte et Jean-François Heisser ) se glissent parfois quelque référence (« doubles » baroques des Pochoirs, Canticles stravinskiens, Comptines dansantes schumanniennes). Le second s’entend, sur des citations de Pierre Reverdy, comme une lettre à l’amant absent, tant instrumentale (Carole Roth-Dauphin ) que vocale (Anne-Aurore Cochet ). En création française, « Rounds to catch » témoigne d’un magnifique travail « proliférant » sur quatre canons anciens (« Rounds » et Catch, du trio dédicataire et interprète). Pour finir la soirée, Michael Spyres et Mathieu Pordoy , plus à l’aise dans la Dichterliebe que dans L’œil égaré, proposent de la première une version toute de retenue et de délicatesse. Seuls ou à plusieurs Le quintette à vents O Wall et le trio « Les Heures » questionnent – encore – l’« ensemble » : le point de départ du premier est d’ailleurs l’apostrophe au mur séparant les amants du Songe d’une nuit d’été. Les deux œuvres alternent sections thématiques – chaque instrument revendiquant parfois son motif – et gestes brefs, mettant en valeur similitudes ou disparités de matières et de textures. Même confrontation/imitation d’univers sonores dans Afterthoughts, Quatuor VII pour trompette et cordes ; piétinements, claquements de langue, raclements d’ongles sur pavillon ajoutent à la théâtralisation de ce récit musical glissé dans le concert de l’après-midi. Celui-ci invite le jeune quatuor Confluence – Topeng, Quatuor XVIII, image musicale de masques (souvenir d’Indonésie) et (très) fougueux Quatuor op. 41 n°3 – dans le cadre de « Génération Volques ». Le concert de clôture donne entre autres à entendre, de Schumann, une sonate de violon intense et spontanée (Pierre Fouchenneret, Jean-François Heisser ) et, de Jolas, l’étonnant mélodrame Rambles thru 44 the Mysterious Stranger. Imaginé d’après le roman de Mark Twain contant l’histoire d’un mystérieux jeune homme traversant un temps auquel il n’appartient pas, l’opus explore l’idée des « doubles » produits par cet étranger fauteur de troubles, révélateur de la futilité de l’existence. Après cette riche édition, rendez-vous est donné en 2023 pour un autre croisement prometteur : Wolfgang (Amadeus Mozart)/George (Benjamin). Nîmes. Festival Les Volques, les 9, 10 et 11 décembre.

LES VOLQUES FESTIVAL DE MUSIQUE (S) NÎMES Direction artistique : Carole Roth-Dauphin Un double portrait de compositeurs dans les lieux emblématiques de la ville. Un festival dédié à la musique de chambre, qui met en miroir deux compositeurs, l’un du passé, l’autre d’aujourd’hui . à l’instar de notre belle cité, et met à l’honneur le patrimoine en s’inscrivant dans des lieux emblématiques de la ville. Le Théâtre de Nîmes, le Carré d’Art, le Théatre Christian Liger , le Musée de la Romanité, le lycée Alphonse Daudet, la Cathédrale de Nîmes, accueillent le festival pour une série de 8 concerts en 5 jours, dont 3 destinés au jeune public. Le compositeur contemporain est invité à Nîmes durant toute la durée du festival et vient à la rencontre des publics; les jeunes élèves du Conservatoire de Nîmes, les élèves des écoles élémentaires, et présente son parcours lors de rencontres avant les concerts. Tous les concerts sont présentés par Arnaud Merlin ( producteur à France Musique ) et Thomas Lacôte, professeur d'analyse au CNSMDP) afin de donner des clés d’écoute au spectateur. Les Volques proposent une aventure inédite en vivant une immersion dans les univers de deux géants de la musique LE FESTIVAL DOUBLE PORTRAIT DE COMPOSITEURS Festival de musique de chambre qui propose pour chaque concert un double-portrait de compositeurs, l’un du passé, l’un du présent. C’est le compositeur invité qui choisit le compositeur du passé dont l’œuvre entrera en résonance avec la sienne tout au long du festival . Ce concept inédit dans l’histoire des festivals nous plonge dans l’univers de deux géants de la création musicale qui dialoguent au fil des nombreux concerts . DES ARTISTES DE RENOMMEE INTERNATIONALE ET DE JEUNES ARTISTES PROMETTEURS DES CONCERTS INSCRITS DANS LES LIEUX EMBLEMATIQUES DE NÎMES, en miroir de l'architecture de la ville, modernité et patrimoine historique. Le Théâtre De Nîmes Le Théâtre Christian Liger Le Musée de la Romanité Le Carré d’Art Le Lycée Alphonse Daudet La Cathédrale de Nîmes UN COMPOSITEUR DANS LA CITE Véritable résidence de compositeur dans la cité nîmoise, le Festival les Volques propose au public, étudiants, mélomanes, de dialoguer avec le compositeur contemporain et sa musique, à travers les concerts, mais aussi grâce à des temps dédiés aux échanges avec le compositeur et les interprètes lors des conférences, master-class et présentations de chaque concert par des musicologues de renom ( Arnaud Merlin, producteur à France Musique et Thomas Lacôte professeur d'analyse au CNSMDP) UN FESTIVAL CITOYEN Le travail en lien avec le territoire est une partie essentielle et originale du projet. En continuité de la loi du 11 février 2005 sur l’égalité des droits et des chances et la participation citoyenne de la personne handicapée, Les Volques ont la volonté de développer des actions pédagogiques en direction des populations du Gard, et en direction des publics éloignés, des quartiers dits « politique de la ville » pour cela Les Volques adhèrent au contrat d'engagement républicain des associations bénéficiant de subventions publiques THE VOLCAS THIS FIRST PEOPLE SETTLED IN NÎMES, WELL BEFORE THE ROMANS. THEY WERE ABLE TO WELCOME THE FOREIGNER, APPROPRIATE THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND THEIR STRENGTH, UNTIL DECIDING TO TAKE AS THE EMBLEM OF THEIR CITY, THE TIME-STAMPED COIN OF MARC-ANTOINE ON THE OCCASION OF VICTORY OVER CLEOPATRA AND EGYPT. OPENNESS AND MODERNITY ARE THE KEYWORDS OF THE VOLQUES. À propos: À propos de nous
