An ongoing concert series directed by Lysistrata Chamber Collective dedicated exclusively to music composed by women, from past to present. A place for curious minds to listen to new music that shouldn't go unheard, discover new stories, reflect on what can yet be learnt from history and from stories that are still untold.
MYTHS & FAIRYTALES. Ancient stories brought to life
“As for fairy tales, he understood that they were reflections of the people who had spun them, and were flecked with little truths - intrusions of reality into fantasy, like toast crumbs on a wizard's beard.” — Laini Taylor (1971-)
Myths & Fairytales are part of the oldest human's storytelling. They have been modified in time, adapted and reinterpreted. This concert will explore a selection of myths and fairytales through music, through the eyes of contemporary women as well as women from the past. The event will also feature actor Janina Picard narrating "Circe" based on Madeline Miller's novel.
There will also be a special selection of wines from EKHI, the first wine brand dedicated to French women winemakers. Just as in the music world, the names and stories of women winemakers are still to be discovered in viticulture circles - be it professional or public.
