From ancient motets to contemporary creations, Magical Christmas offers a festive and exhilarating experience across several centuries of vocal polyphony. The audience shares the pleasure of singing along with the soloists to some well-known refrains.

Over the course of an evening, eight women unite their sensibilities to create a luminous polyphony, the soothing murmur of sisterhood.

A musical encounter of finesse, where the ancient mingles with the contemporary: Lucile Boulanger's viola da gamba dialogues with the Sequenza 9.3 vocal ensemble, deploying her virtuoso solo playing or giving way to 12 a cappella voices.

Three colors of a day, through the organic, almost imperceptible changes of the repetitive music, invites the eye and ear to follow the diffraction of light as it is offered to us at different times of the day, from dawn to dusk.

Melodies from all over the world, collected in Seine-Saint-Denis - a ‘world-region’ - and given a personal touch by today's composers.

At the heart of this programme are ‘nanni’ (lullabies), centuries-old monodies that evoke the unconditional love of a mother for her child. In counterpoint, ‘voceri’ - funeral songs of vengeance - or sacred songs inviting contemplation.
