The dazzling large ensemble Orchestre Incandescent puts together nine musicians with backgrounds in both contemporary jazz and the baroque world, led by artistic director and flautist Sylvaine Helary. The sounds of instruments from both eras respond to each other, complementing each other and blending into one another, through compositions based on a selection of poems by the nineteenth-century American poet Emily Dickinson, and the poetry of English singer songwriter, PJ Harvey.

This new project is a natural extension of Sylvaine Helary's artistic career, as her previous ensembles have already demonstrated her ability to compose a rich and original musical universe and to lead a collective project.

As a performer in Eve Risser's White Desert Orchestra and composer and arranger for Frederic Maurin's Orchestre National de Jazz (ONJ), Sylvaine Helaryhas a thorough experience of playing and improvising with major jazz and improvised music ensembles.

Sylvaine Helary works around a language inspired by the silky tones of English pop - 'for me, the beginning is Purcell...and I am developing a new palette of sounds, grooves, and polyrhythms, performed by all the members of the orchestra. The timbres of baroque instruments respond to the electronic textures, around a writing conceived as a field of exploration. This produces not only a juxtaposition of all these different elements, but a creative music with a rich, wide-ranging, and surprising content. Improvisation is given pride of place, bringing together many different approaches to the art of improvisation, which in turn allows each musician to reveal his or her individuality and feed the shared imagination of the ensemble.'

There is a solitude of space

We do not play on graves

The road was lit with moon and star

Tenebres

The largest fire ever known

To make a prairie

The abandoned village

There is no silence in the earth

There is a solitude of space

We do not play on graves

The road was lit with moon and star

Tenebres

The largest fire ever known

To make a prairie

The abandoned village

There is no silence in the earth
