Chamonix – Philosophical and musical conference with André Manoukian

Philosophical and musical conference

As part of the Cosmo Jazz Festival in Chamonix 

Frédéric Lenoir and André Manoukian will lead a conference where philosophy and music will engage in a dialogue to explore the five pillars of wisdom. This philosophical and musical exchange will see André respond to Frédéric's musical contributions on the piano.

The philosopher and the musician will attempt to answer Jankélévitch's question: is music a science or a fraud?
How did punk musicians appropriate Nietzsche?
Why didn't Plato like music?
Finally, how can the thought of the ancients and musical emotion complement each other to open up horizons of joy, serenity, and openness?
