Students from the PréPro programme at eMa present their final musical projects to a public audience and a professional jury. This evening of concentrated performance highlights stagecraft, instrumental technique and creative development: short sets range from Concorde’s alternative rock to Matilde’s pop/Franco‑Italian repertoire, and a set by Paul Sculati. The concert offers a direct insight into each artist’s evolution, focusing on musical identity and live presence.

Led by Thierry Courlet (voice, piano, compositions), Le Thierryble revisits 1960s–70s rock with French-language lyrics that blend bittersweet poetry and wry paranoia. Electric guitars give way to cello and delicate arrangements by Vartan Baonian, while Maëllie’s vocal textures and percussion colour the sound. Influences such as Pink Floyd, the Beatles and Genesis surface without pastiche, creating melancholic, cinematic moments. Presented within the Musique à Pont-Rouge programme in collaboration with FA-MI, the set feels intimate and reflective.

Claudine (j’aime pas l’bonheur) is a re-creation by Marjolaine Minot that probes the ambivalence of happiness through intimate theatrical language.
