The association Le Moment musical de Haguenau aims to showcase music in all its forms year after year. In collaboration with the municipal school of music and dance of Haguenau (EMMDH), directed by Olivier Saenger, and with the support of the City of Haguenau, the association has prepared the new program for the Moment musical festival, which will take place on April 11 and 12.
For its 26th edition, the association has decided to honor itinerant music, the kind that travels through Europe, crosses continents, draws from different influences, and merges them in a choral spirit. Seven concerts will be held in four locations: the municipal theater, the chapel of the Annonciades, the Douane hall, and the Millennium hall. The audience will have the pleasure of discovering Argentine composers, Yiddish songs, blending Brazilian music with jazz, mixing aesthetics and instrumental choices with saxophone, percussion, and even the unleashed accordion of gypsy jazz.
