Soldiers' confidences and complaints
All these emotions – from passionate allegiance to tormenting doubt, from heroic fervour to the depths of dejection and sometimes death itself, from the cheerful solidarity of the regiment to solitude and even melancholy – are put into words that reveal the very soul of the soldier.To mark the exhibition The Life of a Soldier. From Ancient Rome to the Present Day, a cycle of eight concerts will conjure up the daily life of a soldier. While composers have gathered soldiers’ confidences, understood their emotions and even interpreted their silences, transforming them into music, poets and writers have also served as their interpreters, succeeding in putting into words the different sensations felt by women and men wearing military uniform, from the most famous to the most humble, from time immemorial.
