DESCRIPTION:Matthias Geissbühler (baryton) & Stephanie Gurga (piano)\nWit
 h this programme\, the musicians present a selection of the finest melodie
 s on the theme of wandering. In the accompaniment resonates the sound trac
 e of the wanderer’s steps. One hears quarter notes\, sometimes heavy and
  sometimes cheerful\, which either reflect the feelings of the narrator or
  the nature that surrounds them\, one hears sixteenth notes that blow like
  the wind or flow like a river - a musical allegory of peregrinations.\n\n
 The principal component\, Songs of Travel by Vaughan Williams on the poems
  by Robert Louis Stevenson\, tells in short fragments the life of a vagabo
 nd for whom the road beneath his feet and the vast sky above him are the m
 ost important things in his life. The cycle also talks about his beloved a
 nd brings us through flowery language to Stevenson’s native country : Sc
 otland.\n\nThe programme is completed with different composers and melodie
 s. Henri Duparc invites us to a voyage with Charles Baudelaire’s eponymi
 c poem\, Invitation au voyage. Lieder from Schubert and Mendelssohn paint 
 in short fragments scenes of people in search of happiness from love. The 
 musicians also interpret two Lieder by Peter Cornelius - a German composer
  who is too seldom played \; a master of poetry and music. The opening of 
 the programme makes no exception and will be an excerpt from « Lieder ein
 es fahrenden Gesellen » (Songs from a wandering companion) by Gustav Mahl
 er.\n\nProgram: \n\n	Songs de Vaughan Williams\n	Lieder de Cornelius et Ma
 hler\n	Melodies de Duparc et Poulenc\n\n\nFree entrance\n
