Obsidienne et Cie

Obsidienne est également l’invité régulier des programmateurs de Radio France. Celui-ci a également à cœur de transmettre aux enfants et adolescents l'amour de cette musique en proposant des programmes accessibles à partir du CM1 et met en place régulièrement des actions pédagogiques, en lien avec les enseignants. Depuis 2009 l’accueil en résidence à Sens en Bourgogne avec pour thème « la chanson du Moyen Age à nos jours » permet à l’ensemble d’ouvrir son répertoire à d’autres époques, liant volontiers la musique à la poésie, au théâtre, à la danse, à la cuisine ... Sa discographie (Eloquentia, Calliope, Opus 111) a obtenu les plus prestigieuses distinctions de la presse française et internationale (Grand Prix du Disque, Diapason d’or, Choc du Monde de la Musique, 10 de Répertoire, 5 étoiles Goldberg, Recommandé par Classica, Bravo de Tradmagazine...). In its frequent connections with poetry, drama or dance, sometimes on the fringes of contemporary or traditional repertoires in music and song, Obsidienne carries on breaking new ground in hitherto unpublished or little known areas of music from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, and lays particular emphasis on the restitution of the medieval body of instruments, inspired by the paintings of the great masters. With Obsidienne, medieval music turns into a repertoire to invent, to recreate, an unchartered territory to be imagined, an unknown planet to travel to. Obsidienne is first and foremost an ensemble of musical creation that draws its inspiration from medieval and Renaissance music with the constant care to bring it back to life. Reviving a repertoire that is often identified with the folk tradition of a time long gone, but which still appeals to our contemporaries by its wealth and diversity, which speaks to sophisticated music lovers as well as to untrained audiences. As an ensemble in residence in Sens since 2009 on the theme of « songs from the Middle Ages to our era », Obsidienne has consolidated its work on the song repertoire through the centuries. Songs have no borders, whether in time or space ; they are to be experienced as a continuum. Through its musical shows, between dance and/or drama and music, Obsidienne explores the history of songs and their resonance in the contemporary repertoire. Its many recordings with Calliope and Opus 111 have been awarded numerous prizes by the French and international press (Grand Prix du Disque, Diapason d’or, ‘Choc’ by Le Monde de la Musique, ‘10’ by Répertoire, 5 stars by Goldberg, ‘Recommended’ by Classica, ‘Bravo’ by Tradmagazine, ...).
