\u2018The festival takes over the city of Bordeaux and its surroundings with the same curiosity with which it explores the repertoire.\u2019 (Les \u00c9chos<\/em>, 2021)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The search for new sensations is at the heart of the project of a conductor determined not to confine classical music to its niche.\u2019 (Le Figaro<\/em>, Christian Merlin, 2023)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From opera to pop, circus to great voices, Pulsations welcomes James Thierr\u00e9e, Camille, C\u00e9cile McLorin Salvant, Sabine Devieilhe, L\u00e9a Desandre, Nahuel di Pierro, Michael Spyres, and Kate Frankie’s B.O.D.I.E.S. \u2013 for the first time in France. Unprecedented artistic and musical experiences, unique emotions, the alchemy between artistic projects and highly magnetic or symbolic venues: this is the spirit of the Pulsations festival!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlights from previous editions include Brahms’ Human Requiem<\/em>, directed by Jochen Sandig at the submarine base in 2021; Gluck’s opera Orpheus and Eurydice<\/em>, directed by Eddy Garaudel in a disused factory, Halle 47 in Floirac, in 2023; Bohuslav Martin\u016f’s Greek Passion,<\/em> a rarely performed opera, in which amateur choristers from the region and the Pygmalion choir became one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Born in 2020 out of frustration caused by months of silence due to the pandemic, an antidote delivered by conductor Rapha\u00ebl Pichon.\u2019 (Le Monde<\/em>, Marie-Aude Roux, 2021)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, Pygmalion and Rapha\u00ebl Pichon embarked on a new adventure: the creation of the Pulsations festival in Bordeaux and its metropolitan area. The intention was twofold: to offer musicians the opportunity to give concerts again in a health context where everything had been put on hold, and to play in unusual and unexpected venues, often not dedicated to culture, to reach as many people as possible. The first edition of the festival, organized in just a few weeks with the indispensable help of particularly committed local forces, was a great moment of reunion, relief and jubilation. To put culture back at the heart of social policy, Pulsations offers attractive ticket prices, provides tickets to associations and social partners, and organizes preparatory workshops to discover the works and performers!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
