The young Quatuor Wassily, artists from ProQuartet, invites you to an exceptional concert with soprano Thaïs Raï-Westphal (Fondation Royaumont). Together, they will help you rediscover the poetic and little-known world of Jean Cras. His songs for voice and string quartet, rarely performed, are a true invitation to daydream and offer the ideal opportunity to enjoy a warm and convivial musical moment.
As part of its partnership with ProQuartet, the BLGF will close its 2025-2026 season with a concert rich in emotion. For the “Découvertes” series at the Bibliothèque musicale La Grange-Fleuret, the young Quatuor Wassily, artists from ProQuartet, invites you to an exceptional concert with soprano Thaïs Raï-Westphal (Fondation Royaumont). Together, they will help you rediscover the poetic and little-known world of Jean Cras, whom Henri Duparc affectionately called “the son of my soul.” His songs for voice and string quartet, rarely performed, are a true invitation to daydream and offer the ideal opportunity to enjoy a warm and convivial musical moment. Each concert is followed by a chance to meet and talk with the artists over a glass of champagne offered by our partner Ernest Remy.
