Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm extremely proud
of everybody sitting behind me
on the scene.
Always when they play,
they put all their energy in the music.
They play always with all their heart
and all their enthusiasm.
Every night, every concert,
wherever,
wherever we play in the world.
Always, always,
they play with all their heart
and all their enthusiasm.
Give them an enormous applause
for Antoine Dawkinson!
Thank you!

Yeah, good, eh?
Ladies and gentlemen, when you look at the right,
you see my first percussion player, Marcel Valise.
30 years ago, he became a member of my orchestra.
Then he married.
And quickly, they had three sons.
And all three sons are percussion players.
We performed already with the boys when they were small like this.
Michel, can you show that photo?
There they are. Isn't that nice?
And now, they are all members of my orchestra.
Give them an enormous applause.
Glenn Valise!
And Dean Valise!
And the baby, Colin Valise!
Thank you.
Together, they are going to play a magnificent piece.
This piece?
This piece has only one rhythm and one melody.
It starts very soft.
Then it becomes more and more and more.
And at the end, the heavens are opening.
By Maurice Ravel, his bolero.
