Organ and Cello Concert at the Church of Robion

A musical dialogue between organ and cello

This concert highlights the depth of the cello and the expressive power of the organ, through a programme that is elegant, contrasted and accessible to classical music lovers.

The Church of Robion welcomes a concert dedicated to the dialogue between organ and cello, featuring Jean-Michel Robbe and Evelyne Robbe. A sensitive musical encounter carried by the richness of timbres and the beauty of the baroque repertoire.

On Sunday 10 May at 5:00 PM, the two musicians will perform a programme featuring great composers such as Gabrielli, Frescobaldi, Barrière, Bodin de Boismortier, Bach and Vivaldi.

Between cello sonatas, organ pieces and major works from the early music repertoire, this concert promises a refined listening experience in the warm acoustics of the Church of Robion.
