About this concert

Who were the Sibyls, those oracular women who, from antiquity to the Renaissance, connected mankind with the afterlife? La Tempête delves into their mysterious world in this scenic performance that blends baroque music by Monteverdi and Purcell with Mediterranean folk music and contemporary compositions. In works by Alfonso X el Sabio, Cristóbal de Morales, Xenakis and Moultaka, the singers call upon the ancient prophetesses to fathom what they still have to tell us today.

With the support of the Société des auteurs, compositeurs et éditeurs de musique and the Centre national de la musique.

About the performers

The vocal and instrumental company La Tempête was founded in 2015 by Simon-Pierre Bestion. He brought together artists from different backgrounds and created a collective with a strong character. The ensemble mainly focuses on early music or even traditional music but also performs modern and contemporary repertoires. La Tempête continuously questions the form of classical music concerts, performing in a spatialized and staged way and collaborating with other disciplines (electroacoustic music, theater, dance, lights, video, mapping). The ensemble was Artist in Residence of the Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht 2023.
