À PROPOS
SYLVA LYRIC, who are we?
SYLVA LYRIC was born in the extension of RandOlyrics, created by Vincent Karche, of the days "Living as an actor of his health" of Dr Jean-Marc Chavigny, and of the professional life of Pierre Poupard in the service of idle children, at the UNICEF. It is the desire to offer well-being, care, relaxation, joy of living, and recognition, thanks to trees, thanks to song, which brings together and motivates the three founders.

At the end of a long professional career in international humanitarian action (UNICEF), Pierre Poupard moved to Nantes in 2012.
Most of his career has been devoted to the cause of the poorest and most deprived children. In Nantes, his commitment continued in this direction.
At the same time as his professional activity, Pierre was able to develop his passion for choral singing, as a chorister and as a choirmaster, more particularly in Burundi (1980-1993).
Since 2014, Pierre has been walking on the paths of Compostela, where he takes great pleasure in singing, alone or with other pilgrims in churches, chapels and lodgings. Since 2018, Pierre Poupard has been walking with a dozen choir members from the Nantes University Choir, with whom he sings throughout the stages, a simple, secular and religious polyphonic repertoire.
Vincent Karche is an author, opera tenor, forester, lecturer. In 2011, he created the RandOlyrics, with the support of the Mission Voix Alsace and the Regional Natural Park of Ballons des Vosges.
Since then, more than 3,600 people have lived the RandOlyric experience, in France, Germany, Switzerland, Burundi and Quebec.
His book "the 12 wisdoms of trees" (Leduc) has just been translated into English by Hay House editions ("Tree Wisdom").
At the same time, Vincent Karche gives numerous conferences on the benefits of trees, in particular at the end of 2019 at the French Institute of Burundi and in 2020 at the SYLVA Festival of the Collegiate Church of Saint Martin d'Angers.
