The Confluence{s} project explores with unprecedented depth the various facets of Jewish cultures, through the concept of “Mélodie française”. This recital is the fruit of research into little-known or under-appreciated repertoires; it is the result of a creative process combining the folkloric melodies of Israel’s pioneers, pieces from a classical repertory, and contemporary music.

We owe these works – sung in French, Hebrew, Aramaic, or Yiddish – as much to famous composers as to authors, Jewish and non-Jewish, men and women, often unknown or forgotten. These works, destined to the concert, deliver pieces of our history.

Confluence{s} is an experiment, a dialogue undertaken in four languages, caught between tradition and modernity, Francophonia and Jewishness. It is the first time anyone has proposed a recital of melodies whose program is interwoven with Jewish culture. The musical heritage presented here spans from the 20th century to present day.
