To spark the curiosity of younger generations, attract new audiences, and enable the musicians of Pygmalion—choir and orchestra—to share their passion and inspire the young to take up musical vocations: these are the objectives of the Kiosque, created by Pygmalion to develop its civic roots in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Since 2019, Pygmalion has been offering a season of chamber music concerts and free educational workshops open to all: Kiosque Pygmalion.
The Kiosque showcases programmes devised by Pygmalion musicians, with repertoires ranging from early music to contemporary music, jazz, and French pop: a real carte blanche! The Kiosque aims to make music accessible to all audiences and takes place in a wide variety of venues (concert halls, municipal halls, churches, community centres, hospitals, retirement homes, schools, etc.) in and around Bordeaux. The concerts are preceded by meetings and workshops for discovery or practice.
This is an opportunity to showcase projects led by artists from the Pygmalion ensemble, outside of their participation in major productions!
☎️ If you know of an association, school, or town hall that would like to host a Kiosque Pygmalion, please contact Béatrice Noiset, head of cultural activities and outreach at Pygmalion.
