In the face of the pandemic currently affecting the planet, women and men from all walks of life are multiplying solidarity actions towards those who are fighting on the front lines. In this momentum, a collective of supportive artists bringing together some of the biggest names in the French classical scene (Gautier Capuçon, Natalie Dessay, Alexandre Tharaud, Philippe Jaroussky, Yvan Cassar, Bertrand Chamayou, Nemanja Radulovic, Karine Deshayes, Hugues Borsarello, Edgar Moreau, Franck Braley, Lise Berthaud, Nicolas Dautricourt, Laure Favre-Kahn, Laurent Naouri, David Moreau, Mathieu Martin, Neima Naouri, Tom, Naouri and Rhiannon Mothersele) has come together to jointly carry out a charitable action for the benefit of healthcare and hospital staff. Thus, musicians, authors, illustrators, sound engineers, historians, all contributed their voluntary efforts to this album: 'Symphony for Life', the proceeds of which will be fully donated to the Hôpitaux de Paris - Hôpitaux de France Foundation. In early April 2020, united but solitary, the performers crossed paths, taking turns in the Riffx studio at the Seine Musicale in Boulogne-Billancourt, specially arranged in an unprecedented configuration with ephemeral architecture. The artists were able to combine their talents from a distance while strictly adhering to health safety measures. Unpublished illustrations by the illustrator Plantu.
