Romanticism was particularly rich in this respect. Musical scores that give
to the theme of water - spring, river or fountain - number in the hundreds.
Who hasn't experienced Handel's three Water Music suites, Maurice Ravel's Jeux d'eau,

Alexandre Desplat, the multi-award-winning French composer.

Our guest in the second half: Acad'ôChoeur
"Created in 2021 by the Rectorat de Poitiers, in partnership with the Eurochestries and the Fédération Nationale des Chorales Scolaires, Acad'ÔChoeur is France's very first academic teenage choir.
Winner of a silver medal at the Lisbon Sings international competition in November 2022 and two first prizes with congratulations at the EMJ Festival in Neerpelt (Belgium), it brings together 48 young singers from school choirs in the four departments of the Poitiers academy. Aged from 11 to 17, these wonderful teenagers take on a rich and varied contemporary repertoire, which they embody with enthusiasm and dynamism."
