What is the very thing that has reconnected us to ourselves and others since the dawn of time, if not the telling of stories through music?

Spanning the ages, the tones of Margaux Blanchard’s viola da gamba and Sylvain Sartre’s traverso, combined with the expressive and enigmatic mezzo of Fiona McGown, awaken in our collective memory the echoes of folk melodies—the very roots of our human nature.

By returning to the origins of song itself, Les Ombres capture in the works of Haydn, Berio, Ravel, Monteverdi, Purcell, Rameau, Britten, and even contemporary folk virtuoso Sufjan Stevens, these suspended moments where music, like a universal soil, seamlessly unites crafted beauty with primal grace.

This space of infinite possibilities, where languages and styles intertwine and merge, is what Les Ombres share with all, connecting us—through sound—to the very source of our emotions.
