L’Oranger Early Music Concert

L’Oranger traces early Occitan music across France and Spain, placing courtly airs beside melodies rooted in folk tradition. Mezzo-soprano Ariane Le Fourmis carries the vocal line, while Zuzanna Dubiszewska’s traverso brings a light wind colour to the ensemble. Layal Ramadan plays viola da gamba, and Pierre Baptiste Brioude-Dhénain adds theorbo and baroque guitar, creating a sound world shaped by gut strings, plucked resonance and breath. Those period instruments allow the programme to move naturally between intimate song and instrumental dialogue. The repertoire also reflects a cultural territory that crosses modern borders through the Occitan language and related musical practices. L’Oranger keeps palace music and popular material in dialogue, letting both traditions illuminate the exchanges that sustained this shared repertory.
