Choeurs en balade

On the one hand there is André Charlet’s choir trip to China and on the other the visit to Switzerland of a Ukrainian choir. Two worlds, two cultures that are faced with two foreign countries - China seen through the eyes of Swiss singers and Switzerland seen by the Ukrainian singers. Running like a thread through it there is the view of two women, Rose Lina (a teacher in Orbe) and Tania (a teacher in Ukraine). For Rose Lina this is the discovery of a mysterious empire and the confrontation of two cultures, with a public who are discovering Frank Martin and Mozart for the first time. And for Tania the trip to Switzerland is first of all days spent in a shaky bus, and no money to take advantage of Switzerland which is seen as a land of milk and honey. From a musical point of view, there is intense satisfaction with the way the French-speaking Swiss receive them. There are some beautiful musical moments in both cases.
