The Festin cycle by Bacchanale – a collective composed of about fifteen musicians - celebrates the performing arts and contemporary art. It requires instrumentalists and composers to perform unusual, eclectic, coherent and playful concerts that juxtapose the collective’s composers' scores with works from different historical periods.
For this first edition of Festin, the Bacchanale collective has invited the musicians Aya Kono (Japan), Ieva Sruogyté (Lituania), Raphaël Unger (France) and Sébastien Vichard (France), together with the composers Antonio Covello (Italy) and Konstantin Heuer (Germany - currently in residence at the Cité internationale des arts as part of the IRCAM programme).
