Led by saxophonist and vocalist Alexandra Grimal, REWILD assembles a cross-genre ensemble at the meeting point of contemporary jazz, contemporary classical, experimental and improvised music. Trumpeter Susana Santos Da Silva, guitarists Fred Frith and Marc Ducret, and drummer Gerry Hemingway contribute original scores and singular timbres, creating a constantly evolving sound world. Textures shift between thrusting improvisation and fragile, sculpted passages, privileging raw sonority, subtle interplay and extended techniques to shape an intense, immersive sonic landscape.
At La Cité Bleue, Bach and the Bible is a powerful and intimate performance by director Omar Porras and pianist Cédric Pescia. The show weaves together sacred biblical texts and Bach’s keyboard music, exploring the deep spiritual dialogue between word and sound. Porras voices the Gospels, Psalms, and prophecies, while Pescia delivers a luminous, heartfelt interpretation of Bach’s meditations.
Neither a recital nor a theatrical reading, the performance invites audiences—believers or not—to rediscover the universal spiritual depth of Bach’s music rooted in the Bible, creating a moving journey of meaning, beauty, and silence.
