On September 2 and 3, the calm waters of the Canal du Midi will host the concert “Two Solar Systems”, performed by two musicians and a singer from the Piano du Lac company.

Programming:

• Thursday September 2, 2021 at 7:00 p.m.
• Friday September 3, 2021 at 7:00 p.m.

This event is organized by the Nouvelles Racines association, which works for the replanting of the Canal du Midi and in partnership with Voies navigables de France and the City of Ventenac-en-Minervois.

Show “Two solar systems”: song music on the water.

From lake to lake, from pond to river, from port to shore, let yourself be enchanted by this unexpected poetic spectacle. The image may seem surreal but the boat of the PianO du Lac, a half-tail, is indeed floating ..!

A singer and a salt worker, musician and picker of fleur de sel, nature and music are intertwined in the life of Delphine Coutant. It was therefore quite natural that she joined the adventure of the company “Le pianO du lac” in 2015, floating pianos in the same spirit with more than two hundred and fifty concerts in the waters of France and Spain.

For this new floating show, Delphine surrounds herself with trombonist Jenny Violleau and cellist Daniel Trutet. Coming from popular song but studying for four years writing and orchestration at the Conservatory of Nantes in order to expand her range of composer, Delphine Coutant signs here unusual compositions at the crossroads of popular and scholarly music, nourished by poetry of nature and accompanied by it. A new creation where “under the pullovers grow camellias, two solar systems come together”.

For the second year in a row, the Mas des Canelles, located in Castanet Tolosan (31), reopens its doors to the public with an ephemeral restaurant for summer evenings under the air of a tavern.

On July 20, an outdoor solidarity cinema session is scheduled at 10 p.m. with the screening of the film: We will finish together by Guillaume Canet for a 100% outdoor and bucolic evening on the banks of the canal du Midi.

Le Mas des Canelles is an exceptional place built at the beginning of the 19th century, this welcoming residence is an ideal space throughout the year for the organization of events and receptions for up to 400 people.

Attached to the canal du Midi which runs alongside the Mas des Canelles, its director, Claire Bordenave, has once again agreed to support the waterway replanting project by allowing the Mécénat de Voies navigables de France Mission to organize in the park of the domain two solidarity evenings dedicated to the 7th art.

The entire ticket office will be donated to the canal du Midi replanting project.

Photos from previous editions

Patrice Rouzière is an artist from Toulouse. While he was studying at the National School of Decorative Arts (1982-1986) in Paris, his musician friends encouraged him to work during orchestra rehearsals. His paintings on the theme of music, which he developed over a period of twenty years, are pictorial scores that integrate the calligraphic aspect of musical writing with visual and sound sensations.

On returning to Toulouse, Patrice Rouzière turned to the landscapes of his region and the various countries discovered during his travels. His energetic painting expresses intense impatience and joy, a style of painting that surges from the body. Part of its interest lies in an abundance and accumulation of pictorial matter, where patches of color and layers of impasto vigorously applied give the painting its structure. The layering brings to life a certain freshness on the canvas as well as a sensation of perpetual movement of color, as if still in fusion or developing. Amidst wildly jostling shapes, a sculpted light appears on occasion to offer a moment of tranquility in a corner of the sky. A dialogue is established between the figurative and the abstract, moving from one to the other to depict the true feeling of the landscape and not merely its representation.
