Actualités

CONCERT – HAÏKAÏ

24 & 26 september – 20h00  // Atelier du Plateau (Paris) & Maison de la Musique de Meylan (38)

These three rare birds communicate through melodious cries and intricate patterns, intertwining their voices in a symphony of high-flying improvisation, capturing the essence of vocal expression and materializing their respective sensibilities in unlikely polyphony.

With Jessica Martin Maresco, Leïla Martial & Heidi Heidelberg

CONCERT – AU COEUR DE L’HIVER

2 october – 20h00 // Espace Malraux (Chambéry, 73)

Attacks by wolves, avalanches, disappearances, a poignant encounter with a fox: on stage, in dialogue with the music and voice, Jean-Marc Rochette sketches out the generous and violent beauty of the high mountains.

With Jean-Marc Rochette, Richard Bonnet & François Raulin

CONCERT – CHIEN LUNE

15 november  // D’JAZZ NEVERS FESTIVAL

Trio made up of Elvire Jouve (drums, synthesizer, metallophone), Damien Sabatier (saxophones, Shruti, Jew’s harp, calls…) and Pascal Berne (double bass, arrangements, compositions).

Between Amerindian music, jazz and classical music, Moondog, an iconoclastic American composer who was instantly recognizable, left a remarkable mark on 20th-century music. Chien Lune takes up this legacy and offers a lively, singular reinterpretation.
