2021-04-11T09:10:52.116Z


Eric du Faÿ, founder of Petites Mains Symphonique, the national children's orchestra, wants to develop the model on a regional scale.


"

Make children dream

 ".

This is the goal of Eric du Faÿ, conductor and founder of the

Petites Mains Symphonique

association

.

The latter, created in 2005, brings music to life with young budding artists by offering them the opportunity to join a national orchestra, reserved for children aged 6 to 17.

It is now at the regional level that Eric du Faÿ wants to expand.

Les

Petites Mains Symphonique

, whose mission is to “

disseminate music to as many people as

possible”, now bring together more than 500 children.

Young people from different countries, who train together and perform in concert at different times of the year.

In addition to the National Orchestra, the association also offers a jazz orchestra and a choir.

Pleasure and sharing on the program

For this regional orchestra project, "

we are going to start with the Center region, where I come from,

" Eric du Faÿ explained to France Musique.

The call for candidates was therefore launched until April 30.

Before joining the project, children must pass an audition.

To do this, all you have to do is choose a song, film it all and send the video to the association.

But no pressure to be had: at Les

Petites Mains Symphonique

, it is above all "

the pleasure and the sharing

" that count.

If sanitary conditions allow, the idea is to bring together all the selected children at the Folies Bergères, in Paris, in mid-May.

Then, “

the first academy will be held with a festival, which will take place from July 24 to August 1 in Ivoy-le-Pré, not far from Vierzon and Bourges.

We are going to work during the week and in parallel there will be this festival, with also about fifteen concerts in the territory,

”detailed the conductor.

Auditions are open for all budding musicians.

The Little Symphonic Hands

If the project has only been implemented in Center-Val de Loire for the moment, there is no question for Eric du Faÿ of focusing on a single region: “

We are going to create an orchestra in each region of France.

We are giving ourselves five years to complete this project

”.

With already, in the files, that well advanced of the Paca region.

The artist promises: "

Things are in progress, you just need patience: it's a new adventure

".
