Ce programme invite à une expérience immersive où lumière, architecture et musique s’unissent pour éveiller l’âme. Avec des œuvres de Franck, Fauré, Gounod, Massenet, Duruflé et Messiaen. Des joyaux rarement entendus de Renée Philippart, Jean Huré et Hector Berlioz seront enregistrés ici pour la première fois au monde. Inspirées par la tradition liturgique, ces œuvres tracent un chemin intérieur — de la supplication à la louange, du silence du cœur à la lumière de la gloire. À travers les harmonies pleines de tendresse, les élans mélodiques et les prières chantées, s’ouvre un espace de contemplation : un lieu où l’homme s’élève vers Dieu, et où le divin vient habiter l’instant présent. Dans la majestueuse cathédrale de Troyes, baignée de la lumière mouvante de ses vitraux, la musique résonne avec une profondeur nouvelle. Chaque note devient prière, chaque silence une présence. Une heure suspendue, entre terre et ciel. Dimanche 29 juin à 18h — Entrée libre Cathédrale Saint-Pierre Saint-Paul, Troyes Spiritus — 28 chanteurs issus de Westminster Abbey, St. George’s Chapel (Windsor), The Monteverdi Choir, Polyphony, Tenebrae, la Maîtrise de St. James’s Spanish Place, la cathédrale Christ Cathedral (Californie), et bien d’autres. Britten Sinfonia (R.-U.) — vingt musiciens à cordes Chelsea Chen (É.-U.), orgue Alex Rider (R.-U.), harpe Andrés Moreno García (Mexique/Allemagne), ténor de la Staatsoper de Berlin Karolina Wojteczko (Pologne/États-Unis), mezzo-soprano de Yale University Julian Revie (Canada), direction et orchestrations
