In 1997 The Museum of Music was opened at the new Cité de la Musique. Les Arts Florissants will be joining the celebrations of its 20th anniversary, by participating in a unique experience during the "Nuit Blanche" 2017.

"Shadows and lights": around this theme, the evening will present a varied programme of concerts and mini-conferences in a luminous but ephemeral scenography. An intriguing and inspiring theme which has a particular resonance with the baroque aesthetic championed by Les Arts Florissants, whose musicians will interpret for this event the Leçons de Ténèbres by Couperin, illuminated by candlelight. In the setting of the exhibition rooms of the Museum, baroque music will blend with other sonorities from traditional Japanese and Indian music to contemporary music. The evening will be rounded off by the group ARANDEL with an exclusive first performance of an electronic work using the instruments of the Museum of Music.

In alternation with these concerts, mini-conferences will be given by the members of the Museum’s team which will highlight the originality of the collection, by describing an instrument, a painting, a repertory, a musical work… Workshops open to all will enable the sharing of a musical moment and the discovery of the pleasure of playing together.
