Special for kids! Ma Mère L’Oye
Les Rencontres Musicales de Champéry offer a concert specially designed for children aged three and upwards, based around Maurice Ravel’s Ma Mère l’Oye. Inspired by famous fairy tales, this delicate, imaginative work invites young and old alike to enter a musical universe imbued with poetry and gentleness.
Ravel draws his inspiration from Charles Perrault’s Sleeping Beauty and The Little Thumb, but also from Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont’s Beauty and the Beast and Madame d’Aulnoy’s The Green Coil, major figures of literary storytelling in the XVIIᵉ and XVIIIᵉ centuries. The music finely translates these marvelous tales, between mystery, tenderness and enchantment.
Presented as a concert-show by the musicians of Variations Musicales, this adaptation enhances the narrative while retaining the richness of Ravel’s writing. Mattresses will be set up on the floor so that the youngest can listen in comfort, in a welcoming and appropriate setting. A lively, accessible way for families to discover music.
Variations musicales
Variations Musicales was born in 2022 in Neuchâtel. Margo Lathuraz imagines a variable-geometry ensemble that can adapt to any type of project, with the notion of pleasure and sharing as a common thread.
With over a hundred concerts a year, there’s something for everyone: baby concerts, concerts for young and old, and chamber concerts make up the annual season. Numerous collaborations with choirs, museums, conservatories and theaters complete the Variations Musicales offering!
