Pierre Gallon’s new programme portrays a night of music, hovering between fantasies and poetic dreams of the English Renaissance. His keyboards – harpsichords, a virginal and a toy piano – create a mosaic of nocturnal visions, interspersed with the fantastic and unexpected. As a contemporary counterpoint, Bernard Foccroulle’s Night (2023) reveals the light of a new dawn.
