French singer Camille is back this summer with a series of concerts in Paris. The chosen location is St. Eustache Church, an unusual venue perhaps, but fitting for a show centred on religion. "The news has really caught my attention this year. Why is there so much religious conflict? I'm an atheist and grew up in a secular society, so it's difficult for me to understand the issues. That's why I wanted, in between albums, to explore the theme of religion through music in a joyful and eclectic way: a selection of religious songs from different religions around the world are first up, followed by Christmas Carols arranged by Benjamin Britten. If God exists, then God is sound".
On Britten's composition entitled "A Ceremony of Carols", Camille will be accompanied by Julia Sarr, Indi Kaur, Majiker and Sebastien Martel. Alongside the Britten, Camille is set to perform alone and a capella a personal creation entitled "God is Sound" (The 12 World Prayers).
The concerts are slated for 25, 26, 28 and 29 June. Booking now.
