Bye, bye summer and welcome automn ...
|
Hopefully, despite the wake-up calls about
climate change with fire, water and drought,
you have been able to recover to some extent and are now ready for the
start into the new season.
Unfortunately, even the re-entry into the upcoming season
will probably still take place against the background of Putin's
war,
and there is still no global agreement on how to save our little
planet.
We can only try to do our best with courage, persistence and
confidence -
even if it hurts here and there ...
For this, I wish us insight and imagination - and the power
and the strength to do, what is right and urgently needed.
Art and culture can't do everything in life, but without it,
a many few things would be nothing...
Cordially
your's

by the Piano Festival Ruhr, had
a highly acclaimed premiere in the frame of the festival in Bochum on June 27, 2023.

gave a magnificent premiere performance.

Music written for the ThdS
Music from "Cds à ID"

After more than 40 years of his continous,
ery intense work as musical director of Ariane Mnouchkine's Théâtre
du Soleil, Lemêtre has embarked on an extended journey around the world
to find new inspiration, encounter new things and to pursue his multifaceted
ideas and interests.
Among his most important concerns,
however, belong his many workshops, master
classes, seminars and international
conferences in which he spreads his knowledges and his large
collection of original instruments
gathered from all over the world to pave the way for future generations in the countries of origin,
where some instruments and musical traditions have already been forgotten
or lost, to experience making music with them again.
And he wants to pass on his artistic experience
and knowledge to students, professional stage artists and interested
amateurs within the framework of international workshops
and seminars, for whose subject matter and orientation he uses the term "Le Corps Musical", with which he centers upon
the the body as an instrument of scenic expression.
Together
with comedian and accordionist Aboudarham and the magician AlafrezHe he just formed the Trio Magisterium to create an idiosyncratic
concert program:
Lemêtre's music
performed on his instruments inspired by the cultures of the world,
combines with humor, burlesque and magic to creats feather-light moments between
magic and wit.
In spring 2024 the 'magic' Trio
will be on tour.
He continues to write music for theater, dance , festivals and films.
Recently "Lampejos" a spectacular
production of the dance company "Cisne Negro" / Sao Paulo was premiered.
And for his soundtrack to the film "Here the
Mistral blows hard" he was just awarded the Palme d'Or Cannes
23 for best film music!
Workshops
and seminars can also be booked through ART WORKs.
For his theater music, Lemêtre has invented
own instruments for individual scenes, characters, and areas of
tension, or has reassembled elements of instruments from a wide variety of
epochs and cultures between Orient and Occident.
Thibault Saladin made the wonderful film "JJ
Lemetre - Musicien Insolite" about this process
of creation, in which Lemêtre explains the development of an individual
new instrument
and then plays it.
And
2 more publications are available upon Lemêtre's work:
"Jouer avec la musique"
a book upon his work with the Théâtre du Soleil has been
published by Actes-Sud.
And a DVD with 4 films by Anne
Lacombe upon his music, "L'oeil et
l'oreille"
has been released at Fortdecafe.

Our last cooperation with Shlomo
Mintz for the Violin Concerto by Dvorak he performde
with Würth Philharmonics was received
with enthusiasm by press and audience:
"If the audience is already thrilled by this interpretation
of Dvorak, it is downright ravished by Shlomo Mintz's highly virtuosic
encore - the Paganini Caprice No. 24."
We're happy, that this cooperation with Schlomo Mintz, which
ends with the start of season 23/24 has been emphasized with this beautiful
final event.
Bye,
bye Maestro and thank you for the beautiful moments with your music...
