L’Ensemble Beatus, spécialiste de musique ancienne, nous invite à un voyage aux sources du chant sacré d’Orient et d’Occident sur le thème de la lumière. Partant du répertoire grégorien aquitain (répertoire de l’abbaye de Saint-Martial de Limoges), il nous conduit vers des temps encore plus anciens où, avec le chant vieux-romain et ambrosien, les traditions des églises grecques et latines cohabitaient et dialoguaient. Un dialogue qu’actualise l’Ensemble Beatus avec la participation d’un chantre byzantin (Liban) et qu’il élargit aussi à d’autres cultures avec un chanteur de tradition perse.
