The Ensemble Trecanum took part, in the presence of the Archbishop of Strasbourg, of the representatives of the University and of the Municipality of Strasbourg to a large audio-visual spectacle for the 700th birthday of the birth of Jean TAULER. This event celebrated this preaching brother of Strasbourg at the 14th century, an eminent representative of than one called the "Rhenish mystics".

Tauler
This superb spiritual and artistic fresco carried out under the direction of fr. Rémy Valejo, brother of the Dominican Convent of Strasbourg, put magnificiently in prospect for many images of the Old Strasbourg, a "relive" of the stained glasses of 13th, 14th and 15th centuries of the old Dominican church of Strasbourg which was destroyed at the war of 1870, with texts from the Sermons of Jean Tauler. The music punctuated this spectacle, with Gregorian chants ensured by Trecanum, as well as pieces for organ of Olivier MESSIAEN. The mystical inspiration of this type-setter came thus in echo to the Word, the song and glass art, bringing closer thus singularly the Middle Ages and the twentieth century.
