The TMH is created in the Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral, by three students from his Master’s degree: Igor Bouin, Martial Pauliat and Yann Rolland. Travelling through music and time, the TMH highlights the modernity of the themes and texts of the compositions by the great musicians of the Renaissance. Worthy heir of the famous ensemble Clément Janequin, the TMH explores with rare intensity this exciting repertoire of three-part music, bringing these works back to life through a truculent interpretation, passionate and not devoid of humor.
Yann, Martial and Igor do not hesitate to invite artistic accomplices, singers, composers, organists and harpsichordists, to approach other repertoires more widely. Their complicity and common taste for the stage lead them to create original musical shows like Le Fils de Roméo et Juliette and other tiny dramas on lyrical works composed and staged by Vincent Bouchot and more recently Bingo! A Musical Lottery, directed by Corinne Benizio.
By their luminous approach to these repertoires, the TMH has been performing throughout France and abroad for a decade now and is regularly invited on France Musique to present its various projects.
Elisabeth Geiger begins harpsichord at the Strasbourg Conservatory; during her first years, she is the only child in this course, and she continues her studies in this universe in which she feels good!
Later, there will be meetings that will complete his training and guide his musical choices; Laurent Stewart, and Freddy Eichelberger for the keyboard, Pascal Monteilhet, Gérard Lesne, Yvon Repérant and Jean-Claude Malgoire for ensemble music and the discovery of opera. She continues this path, multiplying collaborations in France and abroad, while keeping a good place for music in smaller number of members, improvisation, encounters with audiences and other musical forms.
She is interested in the great family of old keyboards, multiplying exchanges with the factors, with a particular curiosity for instruments or practices that would have remained a little away from the great «revival» of ancient music!
