François LE MER L'ENSEMBLE SOTTOVOCE They participated in the adventure! François LE MER François LE MER Basse (de 2011 à 2020) Comment parler de Sottovoce sans mentionner François ? Cet ancien chanteur de l'Académie de musique sacrée de Sainte-Anne d'Auray (2001-2010) a rejoint l'Ensemble Sottovoce dès leur deuxième concert à l'été 2011. Remplaçant ponctuel, il s'impose très naturellement dans le quatuor et a profondément marqué le public de sa voix ronde et de son timbre chaleureux. Acolyte et bon camarade, il décide de quitter le quatuor début 2020, après huit années de bons et loyaux services. Il aura enregistré pas moins de 3 disques avec le quatuor, près de 50 enregistrements sur YouTube et se sera produit à près de 40 reprises à travers toute la France.

A Cappella The four voices are the most common form of vocal music. However, if it is common to hear them in large ensembles, interpretations in reduced numbers are rather rare. This is the whole gamble taken by the Ensemble Sottovoce with this A Cappella program, tailor-made for four or five singers who will have on stage no other instrument than their own voices. This program was therefore designed to show the diversity of the vocal repertoire. From the beginnings of baroque music (Victoria, Byrd, Philipps, Arbeau) to contemporary pieces and recent creations (Kelmendi, Paulus), from so-called learned music to vocal jazz (Andrews Sisters), passing by traditional tunes ( Simon & Garfungel, The Beatles), "A Cappella" invites you on a great journey through music. A timeless moment through the ages, between centuries-old tradition and popular tunes known to all. a journey with a thousand resonances that will not leave you speechless!

Pensé à l’heure du confinement, ce programme met en lumière quelques pièces écrites à l’épreuve de la crise sanitaire, à l’heure où le contexte nous imposait de nous taire. Aussi, et pour fêter ce dixième anniversaire par une création, l’Ensemble Sottovoce a pu compter sur une collaboration inédite avec le compositeur gallois Robat Arwyn, qui nous dédie dans ce programme un somptueux Ave Maria. Des ténèbres aux lueurs, l’écriture frêle des écrivains disparus se mêle aux lignes mélodiques des compositeurs des temps présents. Surprenant miroir qui unit le monde et dévoile les ombres. ​ Disque réalisé grâce au succès d'une campagne de crowdfunding et au généreux soutien de 83 contributeurs.
