'This biennial will be an opportunity to check on the efficiency of the work of art today, in the light of a more global project: that of our own temporality, of our behaviour with regard to the present, the instant, the moment; to duration, acceleration and the end. 

 

Because “Experiencing Duration” embraces real time and simultaneity, I wanted the Lyon Biennial to reach out to other cities in >Europe and garner feedback: from PAC (Milan), Portikus (Frankfurt), Tramway (Glasgow), Migros (Zurich) and the Palais de Tokyo (Paris), arts centres which mainly show work by France-based artists...

 

Addressing time was a way for us to draw up an inventory of the 1990’s, when art began to function as a sort of editing bay on which artists could reconstruct everyday reality.

They have tweaked the tempo at which forms change – pausing, looping, delaying, synchronising, slowing down and speeding up. For the artists of the 90’s, time is more a building material than a mere medium, and controlling the duration and the time protocols of exhibition has, like the controlling of space, become a major aesthetic issue.

 

This biennial seeks to reaffirm that a work of art is first and foremost an event before being a monument or a simple testimony; and that aesthetics are also a matter of energy…'

Thierry Raspail, Artistic Director

The Nights of Sound are continuing their urban exploration of the city in order of priority:

- A demanding, diversified and open programme, and a reflection on all the different tendencies in electronic music

- effervescent mobility throughout the whole city.

 

You will encounter the Nights of Sound from the obsolete industrial zone at the Confluent, to the Lumière Institute, the Citroën garage, the ELAC’s gardens, the Parc Georges Bazin, the Chapelle de la Trinité, the Galerie des Terreaux, the Duchère swimming pool and in most of the city’s clubs and concert halls (Ninkasi, Marché Gare, Plateforme, Marquise…).

The aim is to raise awareness and promote the history of Lyon between 1800 and 1914, the period during which the city became a real centre of initiative and creation.

 

The participation by the majority of the city’s cultural players enables this unusual and unifying event to benefit from great clarity, making it a national and international sensation for more than three months, with a programme of 18 exhibitions, 34 conferences, 7 shows (theatre and music), festive events and several guided tours through 19th century Lyon.

 

In total, there are over 40 associated places which will be displaying the history of Lyon and its transformation through the 20th century and highlighting the stories of the men and women who played an important part in the emergence of a modern city.

 

The Spirit of a century, Lyon 1800-1914 is recognised by the Minister of Culture and Communication as being of national interest.

 

Among the major events that is giving a festive dimension to these three months of events are:

the 150 years of the Parc de la Tête d’Or and Perrache Station, and the 100 years of the Grand Hôtel.

The whole of the city will be involved in hosting L’Esprit d’un siècle, from unusual points such as Perrache station to the Cour des Voraces, with associated events such as Les Nuits sonores, in order to reach a wider audience other than the one that is in the habit of visiting cultural institutions.

A FEW IDEAS FOR YOUR WALK:

 

Take a walk along the banks of the river Rhône, from the Raspail Square to the Park of the Head of Gold (Parc de la Tête d’Or), where the way in which the lake and the park have been lit up is quite fascinating.

 

Follow a new path up to the top of the hill of Fourvière. Beginning with stagecraft on the façades of Saint-Jean’s cathedral, your walk will take you through the Rosary Garden (Jardin du Rosaire), up to the forecourt of the Fourvière basilica, whose main façade will be hosting a light and sound sequence for the first time.

On your way down to the Saint Paul railway station, discover a surprise show on the television tower.

 

You can also find illuminations on the Terreaux’ and Louis Pradel squares on the Terraces of the Big Climb up the Hill, (Montée de la Grande Côte) around the Jacobins’ fountain, on the facades of the church of Saint Nizier and in lots of other places as well…

 

FOR STAYING ZEN:

As programming in the city-centre is identical on all four evenings, you may well prefer the more intimist atmosphere on Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th of December.

The portraits of monomaniacs were to be not only witnesses of the birth of modern psychiatry, but also the logical finality of a republican aesthetical-political reflection on marginality, exclusion, poverty, the madness of war and desire for freedom.

 

In fourteen sequences, the whole exhibition, with over 140 works, show the very special way in which the artist viewed:

The Napoleonic epic: the military

The end of the Corsican ogre, the return of the Bourbons

Rome: Carnival and people in freedom 

A race of bandits

Sacrifices and putting to death

Rebellious childhood

Political murders, events in everyday life and civil war

Desires

The Nation’s destruction and regeneration

Black sun

Portraits of ordinary people

Sovereignty of nations

A mad race

London and Paris: the birth of a new economic order.

 

Exhibition commissioners: Bruno Chenique, art historian and Sylvie Ramond, Director of the Fine arts Museum of Lyon.

The programme puts the accent on young creation and companies who have never performed in Lyon before.

It also highlights shadow theatre, a living art located on the border between ancestral techniques and new technologies with its transformations of image, the appearance of virtual bodies, etc.

Each company has its own unique character and its own way of using light and space.

 

This year, the biennial festival is receiving a Spanish company, Cengiz Ozek Karagöz Turc, the Slavitchek association (a cartoon cinema putting puppets, shadow theatre and objects on stage), the traditional Royales Marionnettes Saint Gilloises from Belgium, and the Brazilian company Tato Criacao Cenico which offers an extremely moving show lit by candle light - luminous simplicity.

On the last night, the festival will be presenting a company from Berlin, the Puppetmastaz, in a HipHop show, sung and danced by puppets…

A fine illustration of the puppet’s status, a real link between tradition and modernity.

 

Five days to be “tasted without moderation” from the age of 18 months to 108 years!!!

 

The programme was purposely designed to appeal to all generations, with shows for youngsters from the age of 18 months upwards, a theatre of objects, sensations and suggestion (bright ambiance, soft music, objects…) and others aimed directly at teenagers and adults.

 

The different events…

Wednesday, April 26th: The inauguration of the Biennial at the Opera, with an exhibition by Francis Debeyre, and a performance of “Effigie”

 

Thursday, April 27th: Marionnettes bars/bars

Nothing other than a treasure hunt, a real trip full of fun through the Croix-Rousse.

 

Friday, April 28th: Soirée Cabaret, The puppets’ cabaret…

On the programme: humour, poetry, strange shapes and forms, grotesque faces…

The public is invited to eat, drink, laugh and even shed a tear.

 

Saturday, April 29th: The Night of Manipulation and Conjuring

Manipulation and conjuring is tackled in all its different forms, artistic (puppets, juggling, conjuring tricks…) and gastronomic, mental, scientific, medical, biological, mathematical, media or political… Fascinating!

From 7 pm onwards, evening and dining. At the Palais de Bondy.

 

Sunday, April 30th: Theatre in the street

Nuits sonores - Electronic panorama

The Nuits Sonores Festival is entirely dedicated to electronic musics and cultures.

Based on the multiplicity and diversity of the different electronic movements (techno, electronica, house, drum n’bass, breakbeat...), the Nuits Sonores programming also opens itself to all innovative musics that interact with electronic music: hip-hop, jazz, electro-rock, experimental musics...

 

Thus, more than 300 artists took part in the first two editions of Nuits Sonores.

Among the artists of the 2006 edition we can quote: Q Bert, Coldcut, Alan Vega, ESG, Andrew Weatherall, Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, Nathan Fake, Trentemoller, Booka Shade, Michael Mayer, Adam Freeland, Pere Ubu, John Lord Fonda, Agoria, Richard Davis, The Hacker, The Silures, Jennifer Cardini, Dj Hell, Abe Duque, Jad Fair, Faust or Laurent Garnier, for an already sold-out all day long dj+live at the Rhone’s swimming pool.

Among the latest confirmed artists, Le Peuple de L’herbe and My Robot Friend are now also part of the bill.

 

The Circuit Electronique - Swiss touch

The free Circuit Electronique, second night of the festival, will allow the participants to deambulate in the city for 18 hours, between the different steps proposed by the festival in collaboration with the different structures (labels, associations, artists, clubs...) which contribute to the development of the electronic musics in Lyon.

In 2006, 9 steps are programmed with a focus on the swiss electronic scene.

 

The Carte Blanche – Paris is burning

Every year, the Nuits Sonores festival grants a Carte Blanche to an important European metropolis.

Reflecting a dynamic and innovative electronic scene, it is usually presented by an emblematic structure of the invited city.

Nuits Sonores decided to highlight the electronic music history of Paris.

 

The Parcours Associé

The Parcours Associé has the ambition to federate the galleries, museums, cultural institution or alternative groups in order to propose -through cinema, video, meetings, plastic arts...– a complementary, creative and new approach on the electronic cultures.

 

Images sonores

Another focus will be held on the idea that music is not just sound.

Therefore, the new specific part of the festival, called Images Sonores, concerns the development of all the new creative and technological approaches of v-jaying, video scratching or digital arts, from the strictly theorical point of view to the artistic performances on stage.

 

The Siestes Sonores

Day of closure of the festival, the Siestes Sonores invite a large audience to discover the electronic cultures within an outdoor and friendly atmosphere.

There will be various animations mingled with artistic performances.

Sculpture Colour Workshop

As part of Shining a Light on Antiquity, the museum is holding workshops where you can colour statues as was done in Antiquity.

These workshops are being held in collaboration with the visual artist Fabienne Amiel.

Following a guided tour to show the use of colour in Antiquity (coloured marble, murals, glass, graffiti, mosaics, terra sigillata, jewellery), a trip through the exhibition on the trail of paint: Inscriptions, paintings, and statues.

Work on pigments, their origin and how they were made.

Introduction to statues coloured by the plastic arts lighting designer.

Then, you get to produce a low relief using mosaics and murals as models.

Painting on fabric, transfer to a clay plate and colouring with pigments.

Colour a statuette or a god’s head following the colours of the exhibits in Les sculptures sortent de leur réserve.

Son of a Lyon master painter of Flemish origin, Jacques Stella departed for Florence at the age of 20, and then went on to Rome, where he earned a reputation for being one of the best painters in the city.

Stella spent a great deal of time with Simon Vouet and Nicolas Poussin and became their close friend.

In 1634, Stella moved to Paris where he lived until his death in 1657 and where he obtained his greatest success: Richelieu named him “accredited painter to the king”.

Stella received order after order for his work: retables and reredos for the churches of Paris, paintings for art-lovers’ private rooms, drawings for the royal printing house…

 

The force of his retables, the elegance of his compositions, the delicate touch of his drawings, the refinement of his colour harmonies, all were acclaimed by his contemporaries.

Stella, whose work was essentially religious, also took an interest in showing everyday life, as proven by his many drawings.

At the beginning of the 18th century, Lyon’s libraries were full of Italian manuscripts, mainly from Rome and Naples. They were most certainly brought back from Italy by Jesuit priests or travelling music lovers and are proof of the attraction that Italian culture had for the inhabitants of Lyon.

 

Lyon’s musicians appreciated the extreme sensitiveness of the Italian masters’ vocal and instrumental works.

Sometimes painters of the emotions of the Virgin Mary, vulnerable and human, sometimes eulogists of love in secular works.

Celestial or carnal, the purest emotions are expressed by their most natural vector: the human voice.

The surprising Paper Concerto, created in October 2003 by the Los Angeles philharmonic orchestra for inaugurating the Walt Disney Concert Hall, where vibrations made by paper circulate through the orchestra and the public in the most entrancing way.

 

The spectacular Water Concerto, where the soloist uses all sorts of recipients full of water for dialoguing with the orchestra in a most poetic and evocative work. Created in 1999 by the New York Philharmonic, the Water Concerto has great symbolic value for its composer: “water is what unites us, without which life would be impossible. These are the tears of the ocean”.

In recent years, the systematic study of the reciprocal influences between photography and Impressionism has brought to light the common denominators of these two modes of artistic creation: an insistence on realism and objectivity, and an analysis of light, both in the choice of subjects - the primacy of urban views, scenes from daily life, a fascination with the industrial world, etc. - and in their technical treatment, from precise, skilful framings to a search for the perfect control of lighting effects.

 

Through documented comparisons of the relationships between these three media - painting, photography and the cinema - Impressionism and the Birth of the Cinematograph proposes a new understanding of the way in which one of the major arts of our image-and-language civilisation came into being.

The nascent cinema's debt to the Impressionists' techniques is clear, notably in the work of Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro and Auguste Renoir, himself father to one of France's most important film-makers.

 

It was the Lumière brothers who developed the first colour photographs - the famous "autochromes" - and in 1895 they invented the cinematograph.

Sons of an amateur painter, they themselves were art lovers, and it is clear from their work that numerous visual references to contemporary paintings were present in their minds.

Le Concert de l'Hostel Dieu Carissimi’s name is closely linked to the origins of Oratorio.

These masterpieces of the sacred baroque music, which are conserved in the Lyon Municipal Library as manuscript copies, give the occasion to celebrate as it must be done, the 400 years of the birth of that Maestro of the Italian music.

 

The sacred stories are conceived as mini operas, inspired of the Ancient testament.

Jonas, Ezechias and Jephte, short theatrical narratives are given rhythm with action sequences, and moralizing passages.

 

A superb casting valorises this very expressive and contrasted music, with the British tenor Howard Crook famous for his interpretations of the sacred baroque repertoire.

Le Concert de l'Hostel Dieu is an ensemble of professional musicians playing on period instruments, founded and directed by Franck-Emmanuel Comte.

 

Since its creation in 1992, le Concert de l’Hostel Dieu has worked on Italian and Spanish baroque repertoire producing concerts from Mediterranean composers.

The ensemble is now focusing more especially on Italia baroque, organising its repertoire around two of the more creative cities in the 16th and 17th century : Roma and Venice.

Andy Warhol is one of the major figures of contemporary art.

In the early 1960s, he earned his place as the master of Pop Art. He became famous thanks to his paintings of stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Elisabeth Taylor.

 

The Lyon Contemporary Art Museum is showing works by Andy Warhol.

 

The exhibition of over 200 works (mostly paintings but also photographs shown for the first time, videos and films) focuses on this exceptional artist's later works, in all their variety.

On loan primarily from the Andy Warhol Museum of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the works demonstrate the great range of his talent in the use of various media, and highlight his interest for abstract painting.

Come and see these fine treasures of the past!

 

On the national theme of “I love my heritage”, you are invited to visit the museums, buildings, historical and archaeological sites, parks and gardens in your city…

 

With two thousand years of ever-changing history, with periods of magnificence and periods of turmoil, the metropolis of Lyon abounds with architectural evidence of its past, certain examples of which will only be open to the public during this weekend, so do not hesitate one single second!

 

Ask for the programme…

 

Every year since 1852 on December 8th, the people of Lyon spontaneously line up thousands of candles on their windowsills and balconies.

Real popular enthusiasm has joined up with the original religious festival to form an event that has become an important facet of city life.

As the years have gone by, the festival has continuously grown in size and importance and the participation of world-famous designers is a clear sign that the event is becoming increasingly famous on international levels.

 

Now covering a period of four days, it brings life to all the districts in the city and gives over 3 million visitors the opportunity of discovering a city transcended by light.

The theme for this year’s edition has not yet been decided upon, but the event will be realigned to stress the links between urban space and city life:

• An increasing number of sites in the Presqu’île, with set-ups for enhancing the charm of the Rhone and Saone river banks.
• More conviviality and public participation especially on the evening of December 8th with a giant scenography of candles on the Place Bellecour.

 

Festival of Light…2005 Edition…

 

In the framework of the World Year of Physics, The French Lighting Association is organising an exhibition in the Galerie des Terreaux, on the theme of “physics in urban lighting” and will offer the public a light-hearted explication of physical phenomena related to light In the heart of the City…

 

 

Sites not to be missed

 

This year, honour will be paid to the “traboules” through the efforts made by teams of students from the City of Lyon’s architectural, lighting and fine arts schools.

• The traboules on the slopes of the Croix Rousse

• The Place des Terreaux

• The Place Louis Pradel

• The church of Saint Nizier

• The banks of the Rhone

• The Place des Célestins

• The Place Bellecour

• The cathedral of Saint Jean

• The basilica of Fourvière

 

In the different “arrondissements”…

 

About 30 projects are planned for the 9 “arrondissements” of Lyon, including 7 sight-seeing walks proposed for the evening of December 8th.

Three artists’ residences are also on the programme.

Artists from all over the world will be with us: France, Belgium, Quebec, the United States, Colombia, Great Britain...

 

This event has received the support of the City of Lyon.

According to him, light and relief are offered to the hopeful ones, at the end of an exhausting life.

Thus his motets, “Sterberlieder”, aren’t dark or painful pieces of music.

Architecturally luminous and full of Italianism, each one of those great choir-frescoes are built around a central choir. It reflects Bach’s deep faith in God. Two cantatas for alto come in between the motets in order to bring the necessary breath to this program full of virtuosity.

… By proposing a week of exceptional festivities including 5 symphony concerts, exhibitions, meetings, publications & conferences.

 

One of the orchestra’s founding principles, along with musical excellence, is the training & promotion of the young, which is why the ONL’s young soloists will be centre-stage during this week, as the opening concert on the 22 November at 8:30pm is specially devoted to them.

 

To celebrate music at an extremely high level, & to mark it’s open-mindedness & influence in Europe, the orchestra has chosen to invite two of the foremost European orchestras, with whom it has woven a strong network: the Birmingham symphony Orchestra, on the 25 November at 8:30pm and the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, on the 27 November at 4pm.

 

Resolutely open & close to the Lyon audience, the ONL consulted the public last season to ask for their help in choosing the program for the Anniversary Concert.

They opted for Wagner (the ghost ship Overture ), Prokofiev (Symphonie N°1, « classic ») & Dvorak (The Symphony of « The New World »), which will take place on the 24 November at 8:30pm & the 26 November at 6pm.

 

The exhibition "The 100 years of an orchestra: from the Society of Grand Concerts to the Orchestra national de Lyon" will be held in the Atrium of the Auditorium de Lyon, from the 22 November 2005 to 19 March 2006.

It is open from 22 to 25 November 2005 during the ticket office opening hours (11am - 6pm) & is accessible to spectators on the concert nights.

It is also open during the open days of the 26 & 27 Novembre 2005.

Vienna has always been a home of musical creativity.

Two schools predominate: the first in the 18th century and the second (or new) in the first half of the 20th.

 

The first school unites the three major classical composers: Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven.

The second brings together Arnold Schoenberg, Alban Berg and Anton Webern, adulated or detested forerunners of contemporary music.

The Concert de l’Hostel Dieu A vocal and instrumental ensemble

Franck-Emmanuel Comte Artistic management

 

Between Monteverdi and Vivaldi, the city of the Doges has become an essential landmark in the history of baroque music. Religious music is evolving and turning away from traditional polyphonies.

Monteverdi enriches the repertoire of sacred music by adding a theatrical dimension, which has its finest form of expression in polychorality. Inspired by the joyously festive atmosphere of Advent, Monteverdi, Schütz and Gabrieli bedeck their motets with shimmering colours and turn holy texts into real firework displays.

 

Pursuing its exploration on the influence of Italian music on major European cities, following on from Rome, this year, the concert de l’Hostel Dieu will be spending the season in Venice.

 

Over and above the splendour of the polyphonies and instrumental virtuosity, the Venetian school has especially marked the history of baroque art by its modernism, its inventiveness, its taste for theatricalising all forms of music and its involvement in social life.

As a result, extremely varied forms of talent were to flourish in the heart of the City of the Doges and end up by being a decisive influence that has gone beyond all the limits of time and fashion.

 

This is how they have contributed in building up a legend of the city of Venice, which also became a master in the art of diffusing sound throughout space.

These Italian Renaissance fabrics were made specially for the church, aristocrats and the upper class societies. The fabrics were used to make clothing garments for royal vestments, churches, etc.

 

From production in Sicily to those in Lucques, the intricately designed, 15th and 16th century precious fabrics were used for clothing decoration along with other things.

 

All the fashion styles and tendencies of that era can be rediscovered at this exhibition.

Victor Severino, sound

Etymologically, what is sacred is linked with what is religious, in opposition to what is profane. On a wider level, it reflects mankind’s permanent quest for universal values, spirituality and immateriality.

"Les Voix du Sacré" put man’s thirst for transcendence and music in perspective through various inspirations and approaches to composing music. The human voice, a timeless instrument, occasionally associated with a cello and various technological devices is at the centre of a concert enhanced by images and lighting.

“Chroma V” – Rebecca Saunders Concert - installation

Ensemble Contrechamps

New version for several instrumental groups

A Grame- Musiques en Scène Biennial Festival order

“Re-written” for every performance, Chroma merges into the setting where it is being performed: textures and sound surfaces are placed side by side depending on the architecture in place. Musicians from the Contrechamps ensemble are scattered throughout the Chapelle du Musée in small groups: balconies, the porch, stairways, arches, sometimes hidden, sometimes visible.

“Chroma” means “colour of an extreme purity or of a great intensity”. Therefore Rebecca Saunders’ approach is similar to that of a painter: after writing the music for each group, she puts the partitions on the walls of her room like pictures, to help her establish the relationships between the different ensembles. The different groups work “like primary colours that intermingle or which are in contrast with each other”.

Chroma V will be played twice consecutively, with an interval between the two performances so that the public can choose a fixed listening point at the second performance to try and hear the work as a whole. Duration: 2 x 25 minutes

Price: 10 € (entrance to the museum and 3 concerts by Contrechamps at 3 pm, 3.40 pm and 6 pm). Concert organised together with the Museum, with support from the ONDA.

Amphitheatre – Lyon National Opera

Claudio Ambrosini -“Il Canto della Pelle (Sex Unlimited)”

Melodramma giocoso in due parti e un labirinto.

Chamber opera for four soloists, actress, dancer, an instrumental ensemble, video and electronic sound. Creation Ordered by the State for the “Ensemble Orchestral Contemporain” Claudio Ambrosini, creation, libretto and music Ensemble Orchestral Contemporain - Percussions & keyboards of Lyon Conductor, Stefano Celeghin A. Foniadakis, choreographer and performer In the context of the Biennial Festival, Claudio Ambrosini has created, Il Canto della pelle (Sex Unlimited): sex is the vital energy, the secret and underground force that sets the universe in motion.

This ambulatory opera has been conceived as a spiritual and cultural journey crossed by several main dimensions: nature, religion, society and art. Several characters, from the most allegorical beings to persons you see in the street every day, wend their way through the opera.

Words, images and people guide the spectator-auditor through a maze. The idea “of experiencing”, of changing from one emotion or climate to another can be tested in the most sensitive fashion and we always find that we come back to a personal, unique and intimate status. Between an act of reproduction and an act of perversion, Il Canto della pelle sings sexual desire as if it were the mainspring of a world in motion throughout history and in everyday life.

Recommended for over 16 year olds

Duration: about 1h30

Prices: 15 and 10 €

 

Reductions are available with the Lyon City Card, except at the Opera.

CLOSING...

 

And to finish on a high note, some Brasilian flair to celebrate the last night of the festival, to the sound of percussion. With Olodum and Barbatuques, this music of the body will go straight to the heart.

The Auditorium is proposing Debussy’s La Boîte à Joujoux, a Christmas concert for the general public, with actors, marionettes and video, and is bringing in Offenbach for his New Year concert.

 

A scintillating programme, with extracts of the great operas by the masters of the genre!

For the occasion, the full ONL will be conducted by Roberto Benzi, along with excellent soloists.

Beautiful music on the way!

Watch the video…

To persuade his father to accept the idea of his marriage, Mozart created this mass, officially as an offering to God to thank Him for being able to live a marriage of love.

He had to wring consent for the marriage from a father who was against this union; what better for convincing a musician as believing as his father than to compose a mass?

This mass could have been just a fine mass like so many others composed by Mozart; but no, it as an exceptional mass with a double choir, 4 soloists, several major fugues ...

A work “perhaps even more powerful than the Requiem” in the words of Bernard Tétu.

 

Opposite this great classical score, another vision of divine glorification is also on the programme: that of the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt (born in 1935). His Te Deum for three choirs is an original work, highly successful in musical terms and which is conquering music-lovers beyond the frontiers of Europe.

 

Two magnificent works, a brilliant interpretation, total bliss!

A concert not to be missed.

Léonard, in short…

A Man…

In 1954, Daniel Tribouillard joined the firm Jacques Léonard, specialized in creation and marketing of fabrics for the Haute-Couture, as the Managing and Artistic Director of Léonard Fashion, which Daniel Tribouillard specialized in the top of the range ready-to-wear.

The young firm is launched thanks to the invention of the fully-fashioned technique, allowing to print knit, pullovers, which had been amazingly successful from the end of the 1950s.

Daniel Tribouillard uses and optimizes the traditional techniques of "à la Lyonnaise" printing to renew his creations and search new visual effects as with fabrics.

Since the 1970s, he has been printing silk jersey according to the technique called "coupé-cousu".

In 1976, he invented the silkover fully fashioned, a simple association between the pullover and the "carré de soie".

Women are appealed by his drawings and the orchid becomes progressively the emblem of the company.

Finally in 1991, the patent of the reversible necktie is registered.

From 1998, he has conquered different countries in the East of Europe.

Finally, in 2005, he opened in Ginza, the fancy area of Tokyo, the 106th Léonard boutique in Japan.

 

A Style…

The singularity of Léonard, create like an artist

Daniel Tribouillard is not a fashion designer who draws dresses but an artist whose works of art become dresses.

The Léonard's style is unique and peculiar. It is identified by many recurrent patterns like geometrical drawings inspired at the same time by Coptic art and Aztec art whose geometrical and symmetrical compositions constitute a significant example.

The world of Tribouillard is a garden with oriental flowers, in particular with orchids, his favourite flower which has become the trademark of the Léonard label since its creation.

He is also influenced by images of safari animals.

 

The respect that Léonard has for Japan, after France, his second country and culture, is also reciprocated.

With 106 boutiques in Japan, Tribouillard is the only westerner to have had the precious right to the secret of making traditional Japanese kimonos, when in 1983 Japan asked him to design a line of kimonos under the Léonard label. He was immediately successful and Japanese culture was enriched with a touch of the West…

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

At the beginning of the Century of Lights, Lyon endowed itself with first-class musical institutions, which contributed to the city’s international reputation, notably the Opera (created by Lully) and the Fine Arts Academy.

 

Every year at the Jesuit College (Trinity Chapel), the aldermen of Lyon celebrated Louis XV’s return to health.

On this occasion, motets were ordered from famous musicians (Mondonville or Estienne…).

 

Convents were not excluded from this intense musical activity.

The Cordeliers convent accommodated Gouffet, the locally well-known organist and composer. His talent contributed to the musical quality of the religious services and to diffusing works created by his contemporaries.

 

Rameau was employed at the Augustinian Convent for five years. He composed his first major motets and several cantatas there. Leclair remained mainly in Paris, but his birth in Lyon and the prodigious activity of his family contributed to Lyon’s blend in Franco-Italian tastes.

 

The Concert de l'Hostel Dieu is conducted by Franck Emmanuel Comte.

 

• March 7th 2010 at 5.00 pm at the Lantern Temple, 10 rue Lanterne, Lyon 1st

 

• March 9th &10th 2010 at 8.00 pm at Lyon II Grand Amphitheatre

In 2006, the programme will feature three foundation stones:

 

First, the creation of “La Tectonique des Nuages” (“Cloud Tectonics”) with a literary adaptation by François Rancillac and original music by Laurent Cugny, adapted from José Rivera’s play (the author of the “The Motorcycle Diaries”).

This jazz opera will be presented in its “oratorio” version (as our classical music friends say, i.e. without staging and scenery).

 

Then, the highlighting of a certain number of historic saxophonists.

These tremendous musicians have written some of the legendary pages of jazz music of the past sixty years. Sonny Rollins, Yusef Lateef, Houston Person, Benny Golson, Ricky Ford, Bunky Green and Charlie Mariano.

 

A very vibrant tribute paid to the city of New Orleans, the emblematic cradle of jazz that recently suffered from hurricane Katrina and the subsequent flooding. This tribute to the Crescent City’s musical culture is presented in the form of a triptych.

There will be Wynton Marsalis, the high priest of New Orleans jazz, his native city, then the Neville family to evoke the fundamental links between traditional jazz from Louisiana and soul, funk, rap, blues, rhythm’ n’ blues (or even reggae) music that is popular in New-Orleans today.

To complete this tribute, this year the famous Closure night on July 13 will be entirely dedicated to the different musical styles born and developed in the Crescent City and Louisiana.

 

Otherwise, everything will still be very present, with jazz in all its states and styles (from traditional to the most modern jazz, like John Scofield, John Zorn and the Belmondo brothers) with Blues, Gospel, Brazilian and Cuban music, Funk…

And of course, these fabulous encounters between great historic figures and extremely talented young musicians to be discovered urgently.

 

La Scène de Cybèle offers free concerts every day from 4:30pm to 8pm and every Sunday from 4pm to 7pm.

A gospel celebration will take place in St Maurice’ s cathedral on Sunday 2nd july at 10:30am …

250 students and young workers coming from all over Europe gathering in order to debate on current hot topics and proposing new solutions is a strong and meaningful message of hope, and a clear proof that Europe is looking ahead for a brighter future.

 

These 10 days will constitute a unique personal experience, a great challenge.

 

A European Session of the EYP is a place where participants have the exceptional opportunity to get to learn many new things about their own way of thinking and how to work in harmony in the core of a group, but also a place where they can meet new people and build up strong and sometimes eternal friendships.

 

The participation to the session will also be a great opportunity to discover a city, a region or even a new country.

 

Cultural exchange, entrepreneurial spirit, floor-taking, are the watchwords of this European Session

Skateboard slaloms

The “tight” slalom: two identical courses where 30 or 40 cones are set up in a straight line with the spaces between them complying with standards laid down by the federation. It is a rapid, sprint course.
