LUCILIN IN THE CITY #11 - Live painting concert

With Lucilin in the City, Lucilin offers each month a program curated by a member of the ensemble, highlighting the musical personalities that make up Lucilin and, more generally, the wide range of possibilities offered by the contemporary music repertoire. 

This month, Danielle Hennicot, the ensemble's violist, proposes to cross disciplines by inviting the artist Pit Wagner (illustrator, painter, engraver) who, inspired by the music, creates drawings, paintings and collaged and live-printed elements.

The varied musical program conceived by Danielle Hennicot crosses meditative, dynamic and even humorous universes. The visually-interpreted music will be projected live onto the walls of the Drescherhaus's main auditorium, for a unique acoustic and visual experience.

Pit Wagner is an illustrator, painter and printmaker. The relationship between sound and image has fascinated him from the very beginning. He draws during rehearsals and concerts for symphony, jazz and rock orchestras, where he seeks forms to visualize music and performers. The experience of an acoustico-visual encounter with Danielle Hennicot at a vernissage in Laos in 2020 lit the fuse for the development of this evolving concept.

Danielle Hennicot is a violist and founding member of Lucilin. Her passion for contemporary music from all horizons leads her to relentlessly explore the possibilities of her instrument and the contemporary repertoire, combining electronics (as in Kaaija Saarhiaho's Vent Nocturne) or performance (in the solo written for her by François Sahran).
