In this special ‘Philo Bistro’ edition, hosted by moderator Olivier Vojetta, Alliance Française invites you to explore the world of musical enchantment and inspiration. How does a simple flute become an instrument of transcendence? What does it mean to devote a lifetime to the mastery of music? And how can classical traditions remain vibrant in the modern world?
Jane Rutter, an internationally acclaimed flutist and Chevalier des Arts et Lettres (Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters) of France, has captivated audiences worldwide with her radiant artistry. From the grand stages of the Sydney Opera House to the intimate ambiance of Parisian salons, Jane has redefined the possibilities of the flute, blending classical, jazz, and world music in a style all her own.
Jane will share stories from her remarkable career, explore the philosophy of performance, and reflect on the transformative power of music – true musical miracles. Expect not only profound insights but also emotions that resonate long after the final note… especially as Jane will grace us with her extraordinary talent and play a few enchanting pieces.
