Lambert Wilson, a well-known actor in film, is increasingly focusing on his singing career. He will perform in two musical events during the **Ravel Days**, which take place on October 4 and 18 in Coignières, a town in the French department of Yvelines. Wilson is also the patron of this festival, which is celebrating its 30th edition. The **Ravel Days** are an annual event dedicated to the music of Maurice Ravel, one of France’s most celebrated composers, best known for works like Boléro.
On October 18, Wilson will perform a selection of songs for baritone from the opera Don Quichotte à Dulcinée (1932), a lesser-known work by Ravel. This performance will be part of a specially created show with an orchestra, conducted by Bruno Fontaine. Alongside these pieces, Wilson will also perform works by other composers, including George Gershwin and Kurt Weill, known for their contributions to musical theater and popular music.
On October 4, Wilson will take part in a different event, where he will read letters written by Ravel. This performance will be accompanied by Roger Muraro at the piano. The readings will offer insight into Ravel’s personal thoughts and creative process, adding a unique dimension to the festival’s programming.
The **Ravel Days** are held in the landscapes that inspired Maurice Ravel, providing a setting that connects the natural environment with the composer’s artistic vision. The festival continues to attract musicians, composers, and music lovers from around the world, celebrating Ravel’s enduring influence on classical music.
