L’histoire de la musique de la Préhistoire à nos jours!
Laurent Pillot propose un séminaire de 11 séances de deux heures (les lundis de 14h à 16h hors vacances scolaires) à partir du 19 janvier 2026 sur l’histoire de la musique de la Préhistoire à nos jours, organisé par l’Université culturelle de l’Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3.
Ce séminaire est ouvert à tous sans condition d’âge ni de diplôme.
Comment le langage musical s’est-il créé ? Quels sont les apports de la musique baroque ? A quoi sert en chef orchestre ? Comment apprécier plusieurs interprétations d’une même œuvre ? Quand est né l’opéra ? Quelles sont les évolutions de l’orchestre symphonique ? Qu’est-ce qu’une forme musicale ? Comment est construite une symphonie ? Qu’est-ce que le romantisme en musique ? Pourquoi Debussy est un compositeur impressionniste ?
En traversant l’histoire de la musique de la préhistoire à nos jours, le chef d’orchestre Laurent Pillot propose d’entrer au cœur de la musique classique en abordant tout ce qui permet de mieux la comprendre et de mieux l’écouter.
