« A musical, poetic, and philosophical journey »

Naty Garcia Guadilla and Honoré Béjin present a musical, poetic, and philosophical journey around the theme of travel—a journey that is not only geographical but also existential and memorial.
Through words and notes, this concert-reading weaves a dialogue between poets and composers, each celebrating the notion of travel in their own unique way.
From Baudelaire to Machado, Prévert to Gerbasi, voices rise to express wonder, memory, exile, loss, and hope. In counterpoint, Chopin, Debussy, Albéniz, Villa-Lobos, and others extend these sentiments through evocative soundscapes that alternate between intimacy and solemnity.

Naty Garcia Guadilla, writer, poet, and painter

Naty Garcia Guadilla crosses the boundaries between arts and cultures. Born in Spain, she has lived in Venezuela and later in France, drawing from these diverse influences to enrich her work.
With a doctorate in sociology, she has devoted several essays to the condition of women in Latin America and France, while also translating Philippe Ariès and exploring the rural heritage of Picardy.
Her voice resonates through poetry, with collections such as Pétales du Quotidien and Kaléidoscope de Haïkus, while her painting, inspired by music and the diversity of landscapes, is exhibited in France and internationally.
Between writing and visual arts, she offers a sensitive experience where every word and every color tells a story.
For this occasion, she has chosen to blend into pianistic masterpieces the poems of Victor HUGO, Charles BAUDELAIRE, Jacques PREVERT, and many other magicians of words.

Honoré BEJIN , « Music as a bridge between the arts »

Honoré Béjin, an eclectic and inquisitive musician, continuously explores the connections between music and literature. As a pianist, organist, and harpsichordist, he regularly performs at prestigious festivals and iconic venues in France and abroad, from the Mozarteum in Salzburg to Katsushika Symphony Hills in Tokyo.
His artistic journey has led him to collaborate with renowned composers such as Thierry Escaich and Édith Canat de Chizy, and his interpretations have resonated on France Musique and France Culture.
Trained at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, where he earned five first prizes from this distinguished institution, and as a laureate of multiple international competitions, he combines excellence with a commitment to sharing knowledge, teaching at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Cergy-Pontoise and inspiring others through master classes.
With a profound dedication to the dialogue between arts, Honoré Béjin invites us to a musical experience where every note tells a story.
He will perform works by Chopin, Debussy, Villa-Lobos, Albéniz, Mompou, and others.
