L'AGENDA COMPLET 2014-2015 SE TROUVE LÀ >>>
CHRISTMAS CHOCOLATE AT THE ALIMENTARIUM IN VEVEY – UNTIL 28 DECEMBER
The Alimentarium is the Nestle
Museum in Vevey. The Museum is very interesting and was just redone, so it’s
worth a visit, and currently has an exhibition on the "detox" mythology. But what will probably tempt you as well is to participate in
one of the culinary workshops. They offer different possibilities, also to
schools, but the one suited for families is called “Saveur et Savoir”. The one
that is currently offered – and very much sought after, is about making
Christmas Chocolate! If you want to lick your fingers while contemplating your
chocolaty masterpiece, make sure to book well in advance!
Wednesdays (and other weekdays) 14:15 and 15:45;
Saturdays and Sundays 15:00 and 16:30. In French only, but you’re shown what to
do.
Call 021 924 41 41 (mo-fri
office hours, until 16:00) to make sure you get a spot. (Or try the website
reservation, but min 48 hours in advance.) UPDATE: Children are allowed to have their
own cooking spot starting age 9 at Saveur et Savoir; but from 4 to 8, there is another special family workshop that started this year, on the same theme, on Sundays from 14:00 to 16:30 (called "Place à la famille"). Have fun!
CHOIR OF THE ARMAILLIS DE LA GRUYERE - SAINT-PREX 2 NOVEMBER
Switzerland as a whole, but the Suisse Romande in particular, has a phenomenal density of very hard-working and serious choirs, usually meeting weekly or more, and preparing 2-4 concerts a year. In older days every village had one (or in fact two, if there were political adversaries...): this has been a century-old tradition. In schools, the "Petits Choeurs" were taken very seriously. And Swiss componists have written very beautiful choir music, like Bovet http://www.choeur.ch/cote-musique/portraits/joseph-bovet.
We have chidren's choirs, mixed choirs or men's choirs, an the latter are the most impressive: two of these are particulary important and reknown for their quality: the Chorale du Brassus: http://www.choraledubrassus.ch/ and the Choeur des Armaillis de la Gruyère: http://www.rts.ch/video/info/journal-12h45/576031-le-choeur-des-armaillis-de-la-gruyere-se-produit-ce-week-end-a-lausanne.html
We are relly lucky to have the "Choeur des Armaillis" perform in Saint-Prex, on Sunday the 2nd of November, at 17:00. just near Morges. They were invited by the Concert Society of Morges, at the Centre Culturel du Vieux-Moulins of Saint-Prex. This is much closer than anything they usually get to the Lake Leman :-). If you want to get a really interesting programme of both classical and "romand" choir music, it's worth a call. PS: for such concerts, do take cash to pay for your tickets, It's most unusual that they have card machines.

JEAN-GABRIEL CUENOD : HOSANNA ! DANS LA JOIE –
OCTOGONE PULLY 18-19 DECEMBRE
Si vous aimez ce type d’humour (voir ici: https://www.youtube.com/show/120secondes)
ne ratez pas ce spectacle et surtout, réservez vite ! Il est en
tournée jusqu’à la fin de l’année et ce sont les derniers spectacles où il
reste de la place… Nous constatons que nos ados adorent, et bien des parents aussi…
Révélé par l’émission de radio « 120 secondes », ce personnage rocambolesque
inventé par Didier Charlet est le
diacre imaginaire de la Cure de Chastavel, et il va tenter de vous convaincre
des vertus de la religion… à sa manière !
http://www.chastavel.ch/VOIR DE L’OPERA – AU CINEMA ! : CARMEN - 1er NOVEMBRE
Envie de donner une chance aux enfants d’apprécier l’opéra? Mais
un peu raz-le bol de dépenser des fortunes pour des mises en scènes plus
abracabantesques les unes que les autres (du genre : Figaro dans le slum
de New York, ou Fidelio au goulag…) Le Met (= Le Metropolitan Opera à New York)
a trouvé la solution pour vous. Premier point : les mises en scènes sont
belles, soignées et classiques, les
chanteurs de classe internationale. Deuxième point : le tout est
retransmis en direct dans des salles de cinémas du monde entier, dont le Pathé
à Lausanne. Alors, laissez-vous tenter !
Le 1er novembre ce sera Carmen, avec Anita Rachvelishvili dans le rôle-titre : elle
l’a chanté la première fois à la Scala en 2009 pour l’enchantement du public,
et nous nous réjouissons de l’entendre de New York !
