Pauline Courtin, soprano Grégoire Rolland, organ Christophe Barbier, narrator

In May, do as you please, but don’t forget Mary. The Virgin Mary takes center stage in this exceptional concert. Organist of Aix-en-Provence Cathedral, Grégoire Rolland is also a composer who enjoys collaborating with other artists. He is also composer-in-residence with the Orchestre national de Lyon. Born in Aix-en-Provence, Pauline Courtin studied with Tibère Raffalli at the Conservatoire de Marseille before furthering her training at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris. Her luminous voice and temperament quickly established her in the Mozart repertoire. She sings on France’s and the world’s greatest stages. Alongside them, Christophe Barbier will read excerpts from texts by Sylvain Tesson.
