TAXI CRAZY
A poetic and joyful itinerary around Prévert and Kosma
Fiona McGown, mezzo-soprano
Jos.phine Ambroselli-Brault, piano
in detail
The lacquered bodywork of Joséphine Ambroselli's piano taxi hides its game well: at the wheel of the black and white keyboard, the musician shows us all the colors on the songs of Prévert and Kosma. Pink and green, yellow and white, like the century-old park and the restored bricks of the Château de la Bribourdière, the festival's new, spiffy venue. A passenger with multiple personalities – a schoolgirl, a lover, a grumpy diva – Fiona McGown sings in a refreshing voice these very lively sheets of musical poetry shared with the children, under the moved gaze of parents and grandparents who say to themselves "you see, I haven't forgotten anything"... So as long as there are schools all around the world, blue-eyed whales and a whole bunch of whimsical raccoons, anything is possible!

Have you ever ridden in a piano taxi? Have you ever encountered, in a single day, a moody diva, two snails on their way to a funeral, a fat lady with a kite, a beautiful blue-eyed whale, a flock of raccoons, or your cousin Gaston? Embark with Fiona and Joséphine on the exciting journey of a taxi driver and let yourself be carried away into the intense and poetic world of Joseph Kosma's music, set to the poems of Jacques Prévert. Blending popular melody with harmonic refinement, Kosma composed some fifty songs based on the texts of the protest poet. These little masterpieces are performed with brilliance and passion by mezzo-soprano Fiona McGown and pianist Joséphine Ambroselli, both chamber musicians at heart and passionate about melody. Fiona's luminous voice, with its warm timbre, blends its supple and light notes with Joséphine's confident and colorful performance. Both use their multiple talents, as actresses and musicians, to highlight, with the humor and rebellious instinct that characterize them, this rich and eclectic repertoire. They obey no codes to leave room for only one thing: music!
