To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Fête de la musique, the Lovemusic collective invites you to join us on Tuesday, June 21, 2022 at the Fondation des États-Unis in Paris. Starting at 7:30pm, come and discover the music scene from across the Atlantic at the free "Mouthpiece" event.

On Tuesday, June 21, 2022, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Fête de la musique, the Lovemusic collective invites you on a musical voyage of discovery. Starting at 7:30 p.m. in the Grand Salon of the Fondation des États-Unis, the collective invites you to discover the music scene from across the Atlantic with Mouthpiece.

In Mouthpiece, American singer-songwriter Erin Gee explores non-verbal communication, using the voice as an open instrument of sound production rather than a vehicle of identity. Lovemusic presents the final instalment of this cycle of pieces, Mouthpiece 37, commissioned by the collective, in a program that celebrates young American creation.

On June 21, Lovemusic invited Sarah Grace Graves, resident and Harriet Hale Woolley Fellow at FEU, to take part in this project of experimental music for the voice. Sarah Grace Graves is a Paris-based composer and singer of experimental music. Her music contextualizes the voice and the instrument within the internal landscape of the performer: emotions, physical sensations and sense memory. In March 2021, her experimental vocal recital Songs from the Chalet was released as part of Ensemble Divertimento's Young Performers on Digital Stage concert series. In it, the artist performs her own compositions as well as selections from Erin Gee's Mouthpiece series and Giacinto Scelsi's Canti del Capricorno.
