The Grand Palais is issuing a call to drummers from all backgrounds to take part in a monumental rhythmic adventure at the heart of its Nef. This collective performance invites 100 amateur drummers to bring to life a sound work of extraordinary nature.
Intitulé Symphony for 100 Drums, ce projet est né de l’imaginaire de la compositrice et multi-instrumentiste Lucie Antunes. En collaboration avec les Nuits de Fourvière, l’idée est de sublimer des musiciens·nnes non-professionnels·lles au sein d’un orchestre rythmique puissant dans l’espace grandiose du Grand Palais.
