About us
A unique programme at the crossroads of jazz and choral singing, “Waves of Light” brings together Paul Lay’s trio and Les Éléments. The 21-voice chamber choir, conducted by Joël Suhubiette, joins the trio – comprising piano, double bass and drums – in a score composed by Paul Lay.
For this original work centred on the theme of light, Paul drew inspiration from poems by Pablo Neruda, Henry David Thoreau, Victor Hugo and Emily Dickinson. These pieces are complemented by works by Bach, Purcell and Ligeti, arranged for the same ensemble.
