Cordes Rêvent

The project brings together three artists whose sensitivity and exacting standards complement each other: Agnès Pyka on violin, Jordan Costard on cello, and Marcel Cara on harp. Their encounter gives rise to a unique trio, where the colors of the bowed strings intertwine with the crystalline resonance of the harp to create a soundscape of great finesse. At the heart of this program is Henriette Renié’s Trio, a rare and masterful work that reveals the full expressive potential of this atypical ensemble. Renié deploys a language that is at once refined, intensely lyrical, and subtly virtuosic, allowing the performers to showcase their rapport and nuanced range.

Alongside this masterpiece, two new works by composer Claire Mélanie Sinnbuber enrich the project. Written specifically for these three musicians, they explore contemporary sonic territories while maintaining a profound attention to instrumental texture and collective listening. Sinnbuber offers a meticulously crafted style, playing on breath, echo, vibration, and the interplay of timbres. Her pieces open a poetic dialogue with Renié’s world: past and present respond to, question, and complement each other, offering the audience a coherent journey where each work illuminates the others in a new light.

Agnès Pyka, whose playing combines precision, intensity, and elegance, carries the melody with a constantly evolving sensitivity. Jordan Costard, on cello, unfolds a deep and warm sound, blending power and delicacy. Marcel Cara, a harpist with a refined touch,
brings a luminous and orchestral dimension that expands the trio’s sound. Together, they
form a vibrant, attentive, and inventive entity, capable of moving from the intimate to the flamboyant with great naturalness.

This program was conceived for an audience sensitive to subtle balances, the precision of artistic expression, and the dialogue between tradition and modernity. The collaboration between Renié and Sinnhuber highlights the richness of French musical creation and the unique voices of these three performers, offering an immersive, elegant, and profoundly human listening experience. This concert is an invitation to discover a suspended moment where three instrumental voices unite their imaginations to create a bridge between cultures and celebrate the poetic power of music.
