Created by singers Adrien and Valentine Bâty and choir director Eléonore Le Lamer, Octuor Oxymore is a young professional vocal ensemble based in Rennes that explores the connections between early and contemporary music repertoires.

Preferring to perform in unconventional places, this time the ensemble will be appearing at The Roof – Origines for three exclusive 30-minute walking promenade concerts with stops along the way. As its name suggests, Mirrors will create a mirror comparison of the works of yesterday and today. Sung a cappella, audiences will be able to fully grasp the suggestive power of pieces that echo each other despite the gap in time that separates them.

How you experience the music and the site will all depend on the time of day and the level of activity at the venue.
