“I have been fortunate for a few years to have access, as a musician, to concert venues of all sizes. The diversity of audiences, programming, technical and artistic teams, human relationships that I have come across make my job one of the most beautiful in the world.
As often, the smallest are the most fragile, whereas what they offer is unique, and often richer and more daring than the large stages that must meet the heavy demands of attendance. If these small stages were to disappear, it is the health of creation and that of its reception that would suffer. They are the only effective weapon against the homogenization that threatens our time, and teams like that of the venue Plages MagnĂ©tiques in Brittany are fighting on a daily basis for that. Let’s protect them!”
