Concerts for young audiences

« Du Silence au Concert »

A 2022 creation. Discovery of the concert for very young audiences.

For children from 1 to 5 years old and their families. Duration : 35 minutes

From silence, through the imagery of acoustic sound, to a glimpse of lighting, as the musicians settle in concert mode, from darkness to lighting, progressively, with the children in the middle, quiet then joyful.
Reacting, interacting with their emotions: exploiting the path through melodic form, a prelude to a soft harmonic birth, leading to a rich and festive concert. Finally, the little ones are invited to touch, play, dance…
… MOVING TOWARDS A SHARED COLLECTIVE EMOTION

Viviane Arnoux : accordion, vocals
François Michaud : violin, viola

Lightning, stage layout : Sébastien Coppin and Frédéric Bourreau
Staging and installation : Bérengère Altieri Leca and Pauline Borras

« Times Box »

A 2019 creation offered to youth, especially at the college level.

Read details in the Musique Acoustique Machine section

Human beatbox, a very popular discipline among teenagers, turns out to be an ideal medium to get them to listen to music and discover instruments they are not used to, in a hip-hop context that they understand. The artists end the session with a 10 to 15 minute exchange where questions are answered and instrument demonstrations are presented.

This is a multidisciplinary musical story, that Musique Acoustique Machine has been presenting since 2017, in collaboration with La Compagnie Préfabriquée. Custom created music, video of moving materials, Chinese shadows and acting intertwine in a poetic spectacle that uses the metaphor of artistic creation to educate young people about building a world that respects our planet Earth.

A hymn to life and re-enchantment that exudes a strong scent of childhood, for young audiences, but not only young audiences! Waste collection and planting of a tree are on the program before and after the show.
Next performances on April 1st in Saint-Just-en-Chaussée.

The first musical story created by MAM, which uses music as the only emotional vector, no text, only melodies, images and sets that transport the audience to imaginary horizons.

In this first opus, Musique Acoustique Machine uses the metaphor of the romantic encounter to suggest the harmony of nature.

A graphic work, created upstream, allows a fantastic and evolving decor on screens, in interaction with Chinese shadows.

The music accompanies emotions which eveolve from curiosity to ecstasy, through anger, renunciation and reconciliation.
