As part of the Festival Syrinx, a distinguished summer concert will take place on August 22 in the Église de La Couarde-sur-Mer, bringing together five accomplished musicians for a refined and heartfelt musical evening.

Soprano Emy Gazeilles returns to the festival after a successful recital in November at the Hôtel de Ville in Tours, where she and pianist Adrien Gey offered an acclaimed performance of the most romantic lieder.

This new program expands the artistic dialogue, presenting selected movements from Beethoven’s Sonata No. 5, Op. 24 “Spring” (in an arrangement for flute), alongside a vibrant selection of lieder and art songs by Schubert, Schumann, Poulenc, Rachmaninoff, and Dvořák.

The ensemble features:

With its combination of instrumental intimacy and vocal lyricism, the concert promises to be a highlight of the festival, offering audiences a rich emotional and musical experience in one of Île de Ré’s most charming historical settings.
