" When we first talked to Débora Waldman at the Théâtre des Halles about the "Paroles et Musique" project, who could have imagined that it would generate so much enthusiasm and so much energy? ? The meeting between the teaching team, the students involved and the artists was characterized by a benevolent but demanding listening, a fruitful dialogue and of course... work, more work to achieve the objectives set and make this slightly crazy dream come true. That the quality and professionalism of the Orchestre national Avignon-Provence and its musical director should be placed at the service of a cultural initiative deserves more than a tip of the hat or a thank-you. They bear witness to a willingness, a curiosity and a generosity that pay tribute to Gustave Flaubert's words: "Our heart should only be good for feeling that of others. Let us be magnifying mirrors of external truth.
Alain Timár
