Automn Chapel Festival

Whether we think of the reign of computers and synthesizers in today's music, the imperialism of the piano in the repertoire of the last two centuries, or the sovereignty of the organ and harpsichord in the Baroque age, there's no doubt about it: the history of modern music has largely been written for and with keyboards, sometimes at the risk of standardizing our experience of musical sound.

Three days to explore the workings of this mysterious power and stretch the ear by rediscovering the prodigious creativity of keyboards: from the most temperate to the most sober, from the majesty of ancient repertoires to the most contemporary uses, not forgetting of course a few exotic detours. A festival dedicated to all music lovers who can't get enough of listening to the same old tunes on the same old Steinway, and more seriously to the great Moondog, from whom we almost stole the title: a new sound for an old instrument!
