As part of the association between the Théâtre de Suresnes Jean Vilar and the Orchestre atelier Ostinato, the orchestra’s conductor and artistic director, Jean-Luc Tingaud, is offering a mini-concert at the Mont-Valérien memorial. Following a discovery of the Mont-Valérien memorial, the conductor and artistic director of the Ostinato Orchestra, Jean-Luc Tingaud will resonate with a trio of reeds, on the Belvedere in the heart of the place of history, plays by Henri Tomasi and Darius Milhaud, both members of the musical group «Triton» and contemporaries of the Second World War. When one had to go into exile in the United States, the other retired to a monastery but both will resume an intense musical activity in France after the war.
With: Directed by: Jean-Luc Tingaud Constance Luczak, oboe Alberto Niobey, clarinet Guilain Desenclos, bassoon

About the location

Mémorial du Mont-Valérien

Avenue du Professeur Léon-Bernard 92150 Suresnes

Hauts-de-Seine
Île-de-France

A medieval place of worship that became a military fortress during the 19th century, Mont-Valérien was the main place where resistance fighters and hostages were executed in France by the German army during the Second World War.
The multiplicity of the routes of the 1008 shot, allows us today to describe the diversity. After the war, the site was chosen to honour the memory of the dead for France from 1939 to 1945, and on June 18, 1960, General de Gaulle inaugurated the Memorial of Fighting France.
These men, assassinated because they were resisters, hostages, Jews or communists are as many reminders to our history that naturally made this site the first of the High places of national memory of the Ministry of Armies, today managed by the National Board of Veterans and Victims of War.
