L'Heure Bleue

As night slowly gives way to day, La Cité Bleue invites you to experience a rare moment: two dawn concerts conceived by pianist and composer Alain Roche, poetically entitled L'Heure Bleue (The Blue Hour).

Alain Roche plays the piano as the sky fills with light. Not quite night, not yet day: this fragile moment, between dusk and dawn, becomes the perfect setting for music that seeks less to impose itself than to listen to the silence. A sensitive, enveloping, almost meditative experience, where music blends with the passing of time.

Far from the conventions of traditional concerts, L'Heure Bleue invites you to listen in a different way – inwardly, openly, receptively. Comfortably seated, the listener is carried away by the vibrations of the piano, guided by the dawning light. Everything awakens gently: sound, body, space, day.

These dawn concerts are a unique offering, at the crossroads of contemporary music, performance art and sensory experience. A timeless rendezvous, to start the day differently. Let yourself be awakened by the poetry of dawn.
