French School

On July 12, pianists Célia Oneto Bensaïd and Clémentine Dubost invite you to discover the often-overlooked works of French and American women in order to better understand the links between these two countries’ musical traditions, rediscover their feminine histories, and to hear exceptional repertoire for two pianos. A talkback session between audience and artists will conclude this presentation. 

Duo Ondine is a French-Italian four-hands piano duet born in Geneva, Switzerland in 2014. Ten years later, its refined and virtuosic programs and highly sensitive playing continue to delight international audiences. Specializing in French and Slavic repertoires, Juliette Aridon-Kociolek and Clémentine Dubost present programs including Debussy, Ravel, Dukas, Saint-Saëns, Dvorak, Rachmaninov, Borodine, Moussorgsky, and Stravinsky, designing their concert programs around a specific theme or connecting thread. Free and open to the public.

Join us for an evening of song performed by the School of French choir! Under the direction of Clementine DuBost, the annual School of French choral concert features French-influenced music from a range of genres; choral to traditional; contemplative to uplifting.

The Middlebury College School of French proudly presents an exhibition by esteemed alumnus, Mikael Owunna (2018), titled “Infinite Essence.”

The inception of “Infinite Essence” traces back to Owunna’s deep exploration of indigenous African knowledge systems. His goal was to craft a unique visual style that encapsulates the majestic cosmos, intricate symbolism, and the portrayal of Blackness as the divine, cosmic origin from which all existence blooms.
