♦ Let’s sing: Traditional polyphonic singing

Polyphonic singing is an ancient practice we can find in France over most of the Pyrenees. During family or religious festivals, work song or dance, polyphony has always been synonymous with conviviality and sharing. This 2 hours course will be the opportunity to learn a 3 voices song in Gascon Occitan and so find the pleasure of singing together.

With Bastien Zaoui from the famous Vox Bigerri band: http://www.surlefil.org/le-label/artistes/article/vox-bigerri

This course is open to everyone, no singing experience required.

Price: 15 euros

♦ Let’s taste: Wine and Food Pairing

Why should we serve white before red wine? Is red wine appropriate for all the cheeses? What is the right way to judge whether a wine can be serve with a given dish?

This two-hour session intend to present wine and food pairing rules. It will provide an opportunity to taste three wines and two cheeses.

No ability to taste wine is required. Only the taste for gastronomic experience is necessary.

Contributor: Yves Cinotti, teacher and researcher in Hotel trade and catering
