In Bordeaux, then at the Philharmonie de Paris and at the Royal Chapel of Versailles, Raphael Pichon and his Pygmalion group make us rediscover the world of Michael Praetorius. Psalms, motets and magnificat: the chef drew on the materials to imagine a vespers office.

And other Vespers are waiting for him soon: those of Monteverdi, whom he will conduct in New York (Park Avenue Armory) in the production directed by Pierre Audi.
