The church of, Culey, renovated in 2020, is an architectural gem of the fifteenth century. It offers an exceptional setting to magnify human voices without instruments. In this context, a cappella singing, born mainly in the fifteenth century, finds in the church of Culey a perfect setting to remind us that the marriage between architecture and song is not a coincidence but a testimony to the deep understanding of medieval builders. Thus the group CLIMAX and the church of Culey share an obvious fact: one was born to magnify the other. Together, they celebrate a timeless alliance between art and spirituality.

 

Founded in 2019, CLIMAX is an a cappella vocal quartet that has made American music its favorite playground. Flamboyant, soft, exuberant, sensual, jazzy, CLIMAX's repertoire is based on vocal arrangements with great harmonic richness that highlight each of the voices in turn. This repertoire, rarely performed in France, mixes Anglo-Saxon and French songs, ballads, jazz standards, barbershop pieces and covers of Disney animated film tunes. Within Climax, the tessitura overlap, intersect and meet. The soprano can sing the tenor part, the tenor the alto, the soprano baritone... And sometimes, the bass sings higher than all the others.
