“Some people write travel journals; Thierry Pécou uses notes instead of words and turns his travels into scores.”–Le Figaro
Inspired by rituals from around the world, Walking in Beauty features music by Thierry Pécou (France), Katarina Livljanić (Croatia), and Guillermo Diego (Mexico).
At a time when scientific and technological progress is at an all time high – this is an opportunity to unplug, to find a state in which “one feels that everything is in its place”.
Harmony, balance and beauty. It’s time to listen and it’s time to heal.
Please join us for a post-concert reception with wine generously sponsored by Consulate General of France in Vancouver.
