Gérard Caussé, the incomparable viola player
The incomparable viola player Gérard Caussé has been a friend to the Easter Festival since the very beginning. He is truly dedicated to the transfer of knowledge and this year was a natural fit to run our educational project with a school in Aix-en-Provence.
He is an expert on the Fables de La Fontaine, and will mischievously enchant the students’ reinterpretations of these timeless classics, by accompanying them on the viola on pieces plucked from the vast, animal-inspired musical repertoire from Marin Marais to Benjamin Britten.
Expect an allegro, lento, ‘lourdo’, ‘pato’, ‘nigo’ concert… inspired by Jean de La Fontaine’s amazing tales!
