Description
In the heart of Montmartre, in the Church of Saint-Jean de Montmartre, the Ave Maria by Gounod, Schubert, Bach, Caccini and Verdi, and the Ave Verum by Mozart will resonate alongside the most beautiful film scores by Ennio Morricone. You will also hear the world premiere of “Mystère de Judée” (“Mystery of Judea”), composed by Paul Mancini.
The Artistes de l'Opéra: Excellence at the Service of Music
Represented by Michèle Deschamps, former Concertmaster of the PARIS OPERA and President of All4Opera, they are led by cellist Éric Zorgniotti. The ensemble champions classical and sacred compositions and is distinguished by its collective listening and artistic sensibility.
Paul Mancini — born on December 2, 1976, in Ajaccio, is a French saxophonist, composer, producer and actor who blends jazz, groove, hip-hop and electro.
He began playing the saxophone at the age of 7 in the Ajaccio Municipal Band and later studied at the Nice National Conservatory (jazz). In 2010, he released Black Spirit, acclaimed for its contemporary jazz with urban accents, followed by Sax Connection (2012), recorded between New York and Miami with international musicians.
As the Municipal Councilor responsible for the Ajaccio Municipal Music School, he has been working since 2020 to revitalize this institution for its 150th anniversary (historical research, exhibition, passing on knowledge to younger generations).
He has performed in London, Miami, New York, Tel Aviv and at festivals such as Jazz in Aiacciu, opening for artists such as Michel Legrand, Ibrahim Maalouf, Vanessa Paradis, Manu Katché and Richard Bona. He has also collaborated with Christophe Maé, I Muvrini and Jean Menconi.
Passionate about theater, he has worked with Francis Huster and Patrick Timsit (Lorenzaccio), performed his show Charlie Chaplin, His Life, His Work (Théâtre Trévise, 2019), and then created The Godfather, a tribute to Nino Rota.
He composed “Mystère de Judée”, a true biblical soundscape that uses instrumental music (with the saxophone as the lead voice) to recount the life of Christ, from the Nativity to the Crucifixion. The album thus follows a chronological narrative arc inspired by the Gospels – birth, childhood, ministry, Passion – translated into music rather than words.
Held in one of the most beautifully acoustic spaces at the Church of Saint-Jean de Montmartre, a blend of Art Nouveau and early 20th-century innovation, the concert promises a setting that enhances the vibrancy of the music. Its acoustics perfectly reproduce the smooth sound of the strings, creating an immersive experience. This unique fusion of the soloist's excellence, the ensemble's mastery and a historic venue guarantees a concert of rare beauty, in perfect harmony between sound and space.
