On the program:

Music: Pas/sage, from rap tradition to classical violin – Thursday, March 12 at 8:30 pm

Hip-hop, classical music and polyglot philosophy.

Last November, the town of Ferney-Voltaire welcomed 3 artists from different musical backgrounds and practices: Dr Koul, rapper-poet-performer with the Geneva-based group Captains of the Imagination, his brother Julian Azkoul, violin soloist and director of a chamber orchestra in London, and Zac Wolf, beatmaker. Tonight’s “Pas/sage” concert will be an opportunity to discover the fruit of this confluent work.

A concert as part of the cultural season in Voltaire country.
