André Manoukian Concert: "Alone on Stage"

Drawing on Pythagoras, Claude François, and his own romantic escapades, he humorously reveals the secrets of the great composers and the fascinating connections between music, emotions, and society. A scholarly yet offbeat exploration that will make you hear the most popular songs in a whole new light. Les Notes qui s’aiment is much more than a concert or a lecture: it is a thrilling journey into the heart of music, carried by André Manoukian’s humor, erudition, and sensitivity. Alone on stage, seated at his piano, he takes the audience on a journey through music history that is as scholarly as it is exhilarating, from ancient civilizations to the golden age of jazz, via classical composers and popular song. Through a multitude of surprising anecdotes, musical demonstrations, and personal revelations, André Manoukian seeks to unravel the mysteries of those famous “notes that love each other”—the ones that move us, overwhelm us, or make us fall in love. Why do certain melodies make us cry? How can a few notes convey heartbreak or send a shiver down our spines? With his accessible teaching style and storytelling flair, he unveils the secrets of musical creation while exploring the deep connections between music, emotions, and human history.
