What if bagpipes, binious and bombards were the ideal instruments for performing Philip Glass's music? That is the daring and fascinating challenge taken up by this unique show.

With 8 SONNEURS pour Philip Glass, the legendary repertoire of the American composer and pioneer of minimalist music takes on a whole new dimension: his four iconic pieces written in 1969 (Two Pages, Music in Fifths, Music in Contrary Motion, Music in Similar Motion) are reinterpreted here by traditional Breton musicians.

The result? A striking alchemy of sound where the richness of the timbres, the continuous drone and the spatialisation of the sound transform the listening experience. Glass's music becomes living, vibrant, almost hypnotic matter, proving that Philip Glass's spirit resonates just as powerfully in the vibrations of a drone as in the chips of a synthesiser.
