In this special Philo Bistro edition, hosted by our long-standing moderator Olivier Vojetta, we invite you to explore the world of musical
enchantment and inspiration. How does a simple flute become an instrument of transcendence? What does it mean to devote a lifetime to the
mastery of music? And how can classical traditions remain vibrant in the modern world?
Jane Rutter, an internationally acclaimed flutist and Chevalier des Arts et Lettres (Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters) of France, has captivated audiences worldwide with her radiant artistry. From the grand stages of the Sydney Opera House to the intimate ambiance of Parisian salons, Jane has redefined the possibilities of the flute, blending classical, jazz, and world music in a style all her own.
In this Philo Bistro, Jane will share stories from her remarkable career, explore the philosophy of performance, and reflect on the transformative power of music – true musical miracles. Expect not only profound insights but also emotions that resonate long after the final note... especially as Jane will grace us with her extraordinary talent, bringing her cherished instrument to the Alliance Française to play a few enchanting pieces.
Discover our series of philosophy meet-ups - à la française!
During these themed sessions moderated by published author, Olivier Vojetta, explore ideas of social and cultural importance,
unpack contemporary issues and re-examine how you understand the world. Each meet-up is an opportunity to engage in friendly debate
and discussion over a glass of wine, whilst practising your French speaking, listening and comprehension skills.
We recommend French level B2+ to participate. No additional preparation is necessary.
Olivier Vojetta was born in Nancy, France and lived in London for more than
10 years before moving Down Under with his Australian wife. He is a fiction writer who has published several novels in French.
Please note that a separate booking is required to attend each session.
