With "Satie ça te dit?" (Satie, how about it?), compositions by Erik Satie, as well as pieces by Gavin Bryars and Claire Vailler, will be performed by the eclectic pianist François Mardirossian. This concert offers major works by Erik Satie, such as the Gymnopédies and the Gnossiennes , ranging from impressionistic melancholy and playful dissonance to atmospheric creation. In addition, a tribute to Satie by Gavin Bryars, a leading figure in minimal and ambient music, will be presented. Finally, with "Danse pour un enterrement n° 2" (Dance for a Burial No. 2 ), Claire Vailler continues her imaginative exploration of a piece by Erik Satie, never written down, but for which he only jotted down the title on a scrap of paper.
