A Musical Journey Through France

Each note is a brushstroke. Each portrait is an invitation to wander.

Portraits Français invites you into a gallery of sound and vision, where each musical snapshot unveils a facet of France’s artistic soul. From the refined salons of Paris to the serene countryside, from intimate musings to virtuosic brilliance, every piece paints a fleeting, vivid portrait of the French spirit.

Seven talented musicians, four pianists, a soprano, a clarinettist, and a saxophonist from Quatre Music Organization skilfully bring these vignettes to life, their voices and instruments creating dialogues of nuance, brilliance, and charm. Accompanied by images of art, poetry, and history, the music of Debussy, Ravel, Fauré, Poulenc, and their contemporaries becomes a dialogue of colour, mood, and memory. 

Step inside, and let each vignette bloom: brief, luminous, and unforgettable, yet together forming a portrait alive with beauty and emotion.
