Introduction to traditional music
with Éric Favreau

Traditional music could be defined as the musical heritage of a people based on a living cultural tradition and transmitted from generation to generation by updating it.

This conference by Éric Favreau explores the evolution of traditional music from its beginnings at the turn of the 20th century to the present day. A journey rich in information and listening. A demonstration of the incredible diversity of a deeply-rooted music that has found its way in so many different ways and still inspires us today.

Curious visitors welcome.
