Duo Philomèle, comprising Léa Masson and Dania El Zein, formed at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique (CNSMDP). Together, the two musicians take the audience on a journey spanning several centuries of music created by women—from the theorbo (an ancestor of the guitar) to 20th-century repertoire.
​
Although long associated with the salon setting, the guitar’s history has been significantly shaped by female composers, whose works remain heard all too rarely. Through a mix of rediscovered pieces and contemporary works, this program highlights the enduring presence of women in the instrument's history and invites the audience to take a fresh look at a musical heritage that remains largely unknown.

This concert is presented in partnership with the Château de Voltaire.
