The Amesbury Chapel Choir will present a vibrant and joyful programme designed to celebrate the spirit of music, friendship, and imagination. The performance will feature well-known, upbeat contemporary songs arranged in three-part harmony, creating a polished yet youthful sound that engages both performers and audience alike.

The programme is structured to maintain a sense of energy and variety, combining moments of gentle reflection with lively, rhythmically driven pieces. Simple, expressive choreography will add warmth and personality, ensuring a dynamic and visually engaging presentation.

The performance will be characterised by clear, blended vocals, bright harmonies, and a strong sense of ensemble unity. Emphasis is placed on musicality, enthusiasm, and stage presence rather than elaborate staging, allowing the authenticity and joy of the children’s singing to shine through.

La chorale de la chapelle d'Amesbury présentera un programme dynamique et joyeux, conçu pour célébrer l'esprit de la musique, l'amitié et l'imagination. Le spectacle mettra en vedette des chansons contemporaines ntraînantes et populaires, arrangées à trois voix, créant un son à la fois raffiné et juvénile qui captivera autant les interprètes que le public.

Le programme est structuré de manière à maintenir une énergie et une variété constantes, alternant des moments de douce introspection avec des morceaux rythmés et dynamiques. Une chorégraphie simple et expressive apportera chaleur et personnalité, garantissant une présentation dynamique et visuellement attrayante.

Le spectacle se caractérisera par des voix claires et harmonieuses, des harmonies lumineuses et une grande cohésion d'ensemble. L'accent est mis sur la musicalité, l'enthousiasme et la présence scénique plutôt que sur une mise en scène élaborée, laissant ainsi transparaître l'authenticité et la joie du chant des enfants.

Join us at the Franco American Community Center of Paris for this special exciting lecture by Deborah Jenner.

The price for the lecture is 20€. Details below.

Trained by Louis Sullivan in Chicago and influenced by Japan, Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) created a total look for his architecture including the furniture, lighting, stained glass, carpets, tableware, pictureframes, pillowcovers, sculptures and even clocks—all in a modernist, organic-geometric design—a true precursor of Art Deco as, for example, his Robie House of 1908 (UNESCO World Heritage Site). And unlike Europe's Beaux-Arts and International Style, Wright's Organic Architecture"is site-specific and ecological, way ahead of its time, in exploiting local materials and providing shelter from local weather. Wright's Imperial Hotel in Tokyo even withstood Japan's major earthquake of 1923. His Taliesin winter home and laboratory in Arizona (now also a World Heritage site) is forged from desert rocks and sand topped with a canvas roof and decorated with petroglyphs.

Wright became America's greatest architect ever. He completed over 800 projects coast to coast from Falling Water, a millionaire's weekend retreat buit over a waterfall in rural Pennsylvania, to affordable - even pre-fab - urban housing in Milwaukee and textileblock cement constructions in Los Angeles. Frank's one-level Prairie houses dodge tornados over Mid-West farmland while NYC's Guggenheim Museum's ascending spiral ramp completely redefines art gallery spaces. Each construction marries its unique setting for better living through meaningful connections to nature and the arts. Not only are they America's icons of 20" century architecture, they also offer the key to new solutions for the new millennium worldwide.

American-born, art historian Deborah Jenner is an Accredited Lecturer for The Arts Society, London since 2017. At the Sorbonne-Paris IV, she completed Masters and D.E.A. dissertations on Art Deco, Tubular Steel Furniture and Jean Dunand's Lacquer Work under the direction of Bruno Foucart. Her Doctorate thesis under the direction of Serge Lemoine, proved the non-western and spiritual influences in Georgia O’Keeffe’s art. Now retired from teaching at the Sorbonne, Ecole du Louvre, Institut Catholique and the British Council, Deborah continues to publish scholarly papers on Cultural Astronomy with the Int'l Conference organization (INSAP) as well as on the Arts of India with the research laboratory (SARI). With the latter, she co-authored ESPACE mondialisation (2013). Her new book project is "Finally the Spiritual on Paper"- How Georgia O'Keeffe's Colors and Shapes Make her Mystical Known. Other publications include catalogue essays for Musée d’Orsay (New York City et l’Art moderne) and Centre Pompidou (Les Traces du Sacré), and gallery critiques in ArtAsiaPacific. She also gives public lectures, guided walks and museum tours for ex-pat organizations.

The price for the lecture is 20€.
