A few favorite themes of the Norman and Breton heritage will be covered in more detail. Finally, we will take you on a mini-tour of the francophone musical scene, discovering the work of a few artists whose inspiration draws its sources from three different continents.Please note:
Although the introductory text is in English, the main course itself is entirely in French.
