DESCRIPTION:Nicole Schnitzer-Toulouse et Isabelle Hénaff vous convient à
  un programme chant et piano\, où la poésie jette un pont entre la peint
 ure et la musique. Vous y croiserez Baudelaire\, Braque\, Chagall\, Eluard
 \, Hahn\, Laor\, Picasso\, Proust\, Watteau et la bonne espièglerie d’O
 ffenbach. \nNicole Schitzer-Toulouse\, mezzo-soprano a exercé les fonctio
 ns de conférencière au Musée National d’Art Moderne tout en étudiant
  le chant lyrique à l’Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris.  Elle a fait 
 partie du chœur de l’Opéra de Paris\, pour ensuite chanter en tant que
  soliste\, se spécialisant plus particulièrement dans le répertoire rom
 antique avec des récitals poésie-musique. Elle se produit aussi dans les
  parties d’alto des oratorios et de mezzo dans les opéras qu’elle cha
 nte en France ou à l’étranger Elle a  fait partie de la compagnie « 
 l’Etrange Boutique » qui produit des spectacles mêlant théâtre et mu
 sique. Actuellement\, elle chante au sein de l’Académie Lyrique Compagn
 ie de Paris qui propose de nombreux concerts de musique sacrée ainsi que 
 des spectacles d’opéra. Depuis de nombreuses années elle a donné des 
 récitals en compagnie de la pianiste Isabelle Henaff. \nIsabelle Henaff\,
  pianiste a fait ses études musicales au conservatoire de musique d’Asn
 ières. Elle s’oriente rapidement vers la pédagogie et enseigne la form
 ation musicale aux CNR de Paris et d’Amiens puis au conservatoire de Pal
 aiseau jusqu’à sa retraite en 2023. Dans les années 90\, elle enseigne
  également l’histoire de la musique et l’analyse à des danseurs.  E
 n tant que pianiste\, elle se tourne vers l’accompagnement. Sa rencontre
  avec Dalton Baldwin en 2000 et avec lequel elle travaille à Nice\, Barce
 lone et Palma de Majorque est déterminante quant à son choix d’accompa
 gner des chanteurs particulièrement dans le répertoire du Lied et de la 
 mélodie. Cette discipline lui permet de s’adonner à deux passions qui 
 l’habitent : la musique et les langues. Elle joue également en musique 
 de chambre (flûte\, basson\, clarinette) et en solo. \nProgramme à venir
