19:15 Introduction in Fentener van Vlissingen Foyer

For Azahar ('orange blossom'), La Tempête can be found in a palace of mirrors à la Escher. The collective around Simon-Pierre Bestion pits the early polyphony of Guillaume de Machaut - key figure of the Ars Nova - against a mass composed in 1948 by Igor Stravinsky for mixed choir and double wind quintet.

They also juxtapose the poetry of the Cantigas de Santa Maria, from the time of Alfonso X el Sabio, with contemporary songs by Maurice Ohana. ‘I do like to disorientate the listener,’ Bestion admits. Amazement and surprise prevail in this exciting sonorous scenario full of finesse and intense sound: ‘I am only too happy to share that physical sensation with the audience,’ Bestion adds.

About the performers

The vocal and instrumental company La Tempête was founded in 2015 by Simon-Pierre Bestion. He brought together artists from different backgrounds and created a collective with a strong character. The ensemble mainly focuses on early music or even traditional music but also performs modern and contemporary repertoires. La Tempête continuously questions the form of classical music concerts, performing in a spatialized and staged way and collaborating with other disciplines (electroacoustic music, theater, dance, lights, video, mapping). The ensemble was Artist in Residence of the Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht 2023.
