Nuit Blanche Minimaliste_Lyon 2ème

A sleepless night at La Trinité in the company of Glass, Satie, Alice Coltrane, Aphex Twin, Morton Feldman and so many other minimalist composers, famous or not, who have made the genre noble. This is what François Mardirossian, an insomniac pianist, offers you. He's sharp but relaxed, and has always been enchanted by this music. A twelve-hour nocturnal marathon (with breaks) to immerse yourself in the intoxicating meanderings of repetition. Ideal for brushing up on the classics, discovering nuggets... and taking a little nap anyway.
