The Salon of Scylla and Glaucus is a moment of chamber music, music behind closed doors, closed but paradoxically opened, where one can enter in resonance and lose his way between what is similar and yet different.
Here is the opportunity to pay to a generation of brilliant composers around Jean-Marie Leclair a colorful tribute made of a mosaic of movements, hesitations and passionate portraits, like a musical snapshot of an intimate and instrumental world in contrast to the Parisian opera and theater of the Royal Academy under Louis XV the Beloved.
This is also the opportunity to get together with noble instrumentalists and friends to let them or not take the floor at their convenience and desire… Viola da gamba, violins and cello are joining the harpsichord to make out of a simple keyboard piece an elegant and improvised concert, out of an overture a twirling trio. And these Characters, in turn virtuosos or abandoned but also witnesses of mixtures and fragments of an inspired era, remind us that “the most delicate pleasure is to make that of others.”
