Dear friends,
with months going by facing our new life, we have come to realise how big a role those daily “petits bonheurs” play.
I thus cannot resist the reference to the 2010 movie 🙂
Let’s enjoy life whatever the context imposed to us and when in need,
let music be your sunshine.
Looking forward to unveiling great projects,
Yours ever,
Marie-Hélène
Article about the Singalong concert by San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome, on November 28th, 2021
including 2 video excerpts, Caccini’s Ave Maria and Haendel’s Where’er you walk.
An old saying goes that Un jour un mur mura Murat and Murat murmura… (murmured). So indeed on the night of October 30th, eve of Halloween… the organs and myself murmured some notes of fear and joy 😉 Nicolas and I were indeed delighted to have you embark on a journey « From fear to joy » in Murat’s Notre-Dame des Oliviers (in Cantal).
The word about the concert spread at the speed of light on social media (thanks a lot to Nathalie, Cathy, Marie-Noëlle, Lyne, i tutti amici who relay the info) yet I was away from my laptop, hence this late article.
Thank you all for this very warm welcome. Truth be told, I ended up being too warm in my St. Petersburg-like dress!
If you haven’t yet read it, please find here our portrait with Nicolas in the Oct. 29th edition of the Réveil cantalien (thank you Stéphane Briant for the 2-hour interview).
Hello dear friends,
let’s meet next Friday 13 (ha!) August for a lovely time on the theme « From fear to… joy! » Among Covid and all uncertainties we have been facing these past months, rollercoasters of lockdowns et al., that is a theme that will speak to all of us 🙂
To be joyful, let’s meet indeed for our annual catch-up in Saint-Flour:
Since last April, I have been working on a programme full of musical – and non-musical – surprises (Friday 13th 😉 )
Haendel, Purcell, Schubert, Fauré, Nat K. Cole, Kurt Weill… VOILA!
About a year that we’re going through Groundhog Day so on this January 34th, 2021 I am delighted to send you my best wishes for this new year!
Music has been key to putting up with the latest challenges and I wish you plenty more to keep rocking.
Most sincerely yours,
Marie-Hélène
As promised here is the higher resolution version of the picture to colour for the concert 🙂 Indeed, colour the concert poster, bring it and it shall be put up for display at the beginning of the concert. Counting on you… and your children!

16 August 2020 in St. Flour cathedral will definitely go down memory lane. Close to 300 of you in the cathedral was quite a suprise in these Covid times. How brave of you! Thank you very much indeed for that unforgettable night. From Bach to Gershwin (Summertime indeed) via opera arias by Verdi (Otello‘s Ave Maria) and St. Saëns (Mon coeur s’ouvre à ta voix), I had a great time entertaining you.
I would like to particularly thank those of you who come and see me at the end of the concert, or stop me days later on the street to confide their deepest emotions. One of you even managed to make me cry, I have to confess. Yet those were tears of gratefulness for I am touched that I manage to share strong emotions and that you have the courage to come and tell me.
Special thanks again to Chanoine Philippe Boyer who so kindly opened the doors of the Cathedral despite such troubled Covid times. MERCI 🙂
