A Musical Matinee - a magical moment combining art and music

For each Musical Matinee, the Villa Vauban invites musicians to select works of art from the permanent exhibition. They then match each painting to a piece of music that they find to be a reflection of its atmosphere or story.

During the concert, the paintings are projected while the music echoes around the room and after each piece, a museum educator will tell you more about the artwork: about the artist, the period, the painting’s secrets etc.

It’s a great way to discover art from a new perspective, by listening, observing, ... and dreaming.

Artists: Jean-Jacques Maillet (violon), Max Serra (contrebasse)
