Artist’s confidences
How does an international soloist work? What is his relationship with his instrument? With his audience? With the composers he loves? Does he dream in music? Does he sleep badly before a concert? Artist’s confidences is a special moment, friendly, private, you might say, with the great musicians of our time. The ideal opportunity to ask them your questions and find out more about what happens behind-the-scenes in those unconventional lives.

The Laboratories
Scientific and musical interactions
Music is a real hybrid. Is it an art, is it a science? Does it speak to what we feel or what we think? The laboratories provide an open space in which music and science meet to find out more about how our emotions are made. On the stage, musicians and scientists talk, converse, discuss, to better discern those feelings that all of us have felt and which make each and every one of us unquestionably human. Just one hour together when what you have to say is also heard!

The Chronicles
In the course of the season: the history behind the music
Concerts follow one after the other. But each one is different, unique. In the course of the season at Noda bcvs, you will be able to discover works covering five centuries of music. A note to the curious minded, eager for knowledge: the Chronicles offer a chance to build on what you already know, the better to understand the issues behind the great ages of our musical history.
Which instruments were given top billing in 1615? Which musical forms were the best liked in 1850? Which important composers were at work in the 18th century? What was the vision of music put forward by the innovators of 1910? Four periods of musical history will be explored: Baroque, Classical, Romantic and the 20th century. Two one-and-half-hour sessions will be devoted to each of them, allowing you explore each musical phenomenon as thoroughly as possible. The first one, in the form of a formal lecture, will introduce the key concepts. The second, more interactive, will provide a full selection of musical examples with comments, in the presence of live musicians. A living, sensitive approach to the history of music.

Loud and off-key!
What if you were to cross over to the other side? On the Noda bcvs stage, become the voice that you have always dreamed of being and take part in a fun collective experience of choral singing. During your lunch break, come and spend 45 minutes in the main hall with some cheerful, committed choirmasters: learn to breathe deeply, feel your body and… give voice without worrying about what those around your might think. “Loud and off-key!”: Noda, much more fun than singing in the shower! With choirmasters working in the region, well-known and recognized.
